lyrics

Why doncha come over here
let me explain something to ya
Every day I wake up
I fix myself a cup
I put on my clothes
and I look up

and I see you baby
standin’ fixin’ your hair
and I remember how our love
well it came out of nowhere

And my mama always told me
you’ll find love where you least expect
and my daddy always told me
you gotta show that girl some respect, boy
ain’t gonna find a woman who’ll love you like that
but once in a lifetime

Try as I might I cannot find respite
Baby I knew from the start
Try as I might I cannot get it right
you make livin’ an art
you make livin an art
and every day is your masterpiece

I remember those
call in radio shows
where you could request a song for your girl
and I tried to find it baby
the perfect song to rock your world

cause I wanted
and I needed
needed all of your love baby

tried to get it
tried to own it
but I went too far baby

why do I always push you away
when I want you to stay
why do I try to make you go
I don’t know
I don’t know
but I’m gonna try

try as I might I cannot find respite
Baby I knew from the start
Try as I might I cannot get it right
you make livin’ an art

try as I might I cannot see the light
baby I knew from the start
Try as I might I will not sleep tonight
you make livin’ an art

every day is a masterpiece
you make living an art
every day is a masterpiece
every day is a masterpiece
