[Verse 1]
A man and a woman come together as strangers
When they part they're usually strangers still
It's like a practical joke played on us by our maker
Empty bottles that can't be filled

[Chorus]
Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done
(Baby, who's to say)
Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
(Baby, who's to say)
Give it just a minute
And it'll blow away

[Verse 2]
You fancy me to be the master of your feelings
You barely bruise me with your looks to kill
I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings
I never hеld you against your will

[Chorus]
Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's donе
(Baby, who's to say)
Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
(Baby, who's to say)
Give it just a minute
It'll blow away
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Your case against me is so very clearly stated
I plead no contest, I just turn and I shrug
I've come to figure all importance overestimated
You must mean water when you get on your knees and you beg me for blood

[Chorus]
Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done
(Baby, who's to say)
Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
(Baby, who's to say)
Give it just a minute
It'll blow away, it'll blow away

[Outro]
Like a feather in a whirlwind (Blow away)
Just as surely as the world spins (Blow away)
Oh, it'll blow away (Blow away)
Ooh, it'll blow
Give it just a little minute, give it just a little minute now
Give it just a little little bitty minute now
Give it just, give it just a, give it just a little minute now
And it'll blow away
Give it just a little minute
It'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow away
Just a little minute
[Instrumental Break]

Give it just a little, little bitty minute, bitty minute now, baby
And it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow away
Give it just a little bitty minute
And let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow away
Just a litt', just a litt', just a little, little bitty goddamn minute, baby
Can't you spare just one little goddamn minute?
Ah, ooh, it'll blow, it'll blow away
It'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow
It'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow away
Wait a minute
