[Instrumental Intro]

[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 that it should have been, anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
And it will blow away
It'll blow away

[Instrumental Bridge]

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

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

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

[Chorus]
Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done
Baby, who's to say that it should have been, anyway
Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run
Give it just a minute
Give it just a minute
Give it just a minute, baby
And it will blow away
Give it just a minute
It'll blow away
Give it just a minute
Just a little minute
Watch it blow, watch it blow, watch it blow away
Watch it blow, watch it blow, watch it blow away
Watch it blow away
Wait a minute!
Give me just a little minute of your time
And listen to me, listen to me close
There's been something I've been trying to get through to you
So listen to me close, listen close like you've never in your life before
Listen up
You got something held in your fist
You got your fist held all the time
You got your fist held tight
You're holdin' hard
You think what you think what is lovely
You're holdin' it tight right here
You're holdin' it tight
Your fingers are about to turn blue
You're holdin' it right to your chest
It's like you wanna push it in
It's like you wanna push it deep inside your heart
Deep inside your heart
You wanna shove it up in your chest
You wanna keep that love in
Well, what do you think, you're in a cage
A jail cell, mama?
You can't hold love in your heart like that
That ain't real love
That ain't real love, at all
Do you wanna know real love?
I say do you wanna know real love?
Ah, real love
I'll show you real love
Real love you don't hold in your chest
Real love you don't hold on, you don't hold on real love
You can let it go
You can let it fly
You can throw it away,a dn it comes right back
That's real love
That's real love, baby
That's real
So do me a favor now
Take that fist
Take that fist
And lift it yeah
In the air, in the air
Now open up that fist
Baby one thing at a time, baby all things together
Who gives?
Why don't you just give it away
Feel that breeze come along
Feel that breeze
And let it blow away
Give it just a minute
Give it just a minute
Give it just a little minute
Yeah, and it'll blow away
I feel real love
Real love, real love
I feel real love, real love, real love
I feel real love, yeah
Yeah
Yeah and it'll blow away
Blow away
Feel real love, real love, feel real love
Feel real love, real love
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow away
We're gonna take a short break
