Lyrics It Don't Bring You - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Well,
I
know
it
ain't
been
roses
lately
Baby,
it's
just
been
thorns
And
no
matter
what
we
do
Nothing
seems
to
change
Love
has
always
been
my
shelter
For
you
it's
been
a
storm
But
for
a
while
I
thought
We'd
almost
beat
the
rain
Now
there's
a
hole
here
in
my
pocket
Where
all
my
dreams
have
gone
Falling
out
like
so
many
nickels
and
dimes
And
last
of
all
you
You'd
always
been
my
good
luck
charm
I
should've
known
that
luck
It
was
a
waste
of
time
'Cause
it
don't
bring
you
love
if
you
don't
love
And
it
don't
bring
you
time
if
you
ain't
got
time
And
it
don't
bring
you
strength
baby
if
you
ain't
strong
And
it
don't
bring
you
kindness
if
you
ain't
kind
Now
there's
a
whole
lot
in
life
to
be
unsure
of
But
there's
one
thing
I
can
safely
say
I
know
That
of
all
the
things
that
finally
desert
us
Pride
is
always
the
last
thing
to
go
But
it
won't
bring
you
love
if
you
don't
love
And
it
won't
bring
you
time
if
you
ain't
got
time
And
it
won't
bring
you
strength
baby
if
you
ain't
strong
And
it
won't
bring
you
kindness
if
you
ain't
kind
And
now
I
wish
you
only
roses
without
the
thorns
And
I
hope
your
dreams
are
always
within
reach
And
I
wish
you
shelter,baby,
from
all
your
storms
They
scared
you
but
they
never
seemed
to
teach
That
I
can't
bring
you
love
if
you
don't
love
And
I
can't
bring
you
time
if
you
ain't
got
time
And
I
can't
bring
you
strength,
baby,
if
you
ain't
strong
And
I
can't
bring
you
kindness
if
you
ain't
kind
And
I
can't
bring
you
kindness
if
you
ain't
kind
