Somethin'' gotta give with the way I''m livin''

Seems I''m gettin'' down everyday

The more I strive, the less I''m alive

And seems i''m gettin'' further away



Oh well all my superstitions

And my crazy suspicions

Of the people that I care about

I''ve been doin'' more screamin''

Than I''ve been doin'' dreamin''

And I think it''s time I figure it out



Baby i need a plan

Oh, to understand

That life ain''t only supply and demand



I''ve been goin'' joggin'' in the park after dark

Draggin'' ''round with me my ball and chain

Took southern skies to make me realize

That I''m causin'' myself this pain



Well the woman that I''m lovin''

Yeah I''m pushin'' and shovin''

Getting further on by the day

And I can''t understand

How the heart of this man

Ever let it end up this way



Baby I need a plan

Oh to understand

That life ain''t only supply and demand



When the road gets dark and lonesome dear

You can find me here

But honey you don''t know where I am

You need a friend, yeah



Life ain''t easy

In fact I know it''s sleazy

When you''re the big man in town

Shakin'' religions

And makin'' decisions

You never get to slow on down



Well your wife and your baby

You tell them yeah well maybe


I''ll meet y''all at a weekend resort


But your eyes on the prize

And you can''t realize

That your little girl''s life''s so short



Brother you need a plan

Oh to understand

That life ain''t only supply and demand



Yeah sister you need a plan

Oh to understand

That life ain''t only supply and demand



Hey, you better figure it out now

You know you ain''t comin'' back down, yeah

You better figure it out now

You know you ain''t comin'' back down
