Gotta Get Good At Givin' Again - Chely Wright

(Chely Wright)

They married young, right out of school 
Back in '78 
She rubbed his back, he rubbed her feet 
After a long, hard day 

Now they're livin' in Beverly Hills 
And it's all turned upside-down 
He gets a weekly massage, she gets a pedicure 
On different sides of town 

And they both know they've gotten far 
From the way they used to be 
She wakes him up in the middle of the night 
And cries, baby, listen to me 

We gotta get good at givin' again 
If we wanna have a life like we did back then 
We've got a second change to let someone in 
Hey, we gotta get good at givin' again 
We gotta get good at givin' again 

A little girl walks in the park 
Holdin' hands with her daddy's mom 
She wants to know why that man is asleep 
On the bench with the dirty clothes on 

Grandma tells the innocent child 
It hasn't always been this way 
She slips a ten dollar bill in his shopping cart 
And whispers, mister, have a good day 

We gotta get good at givin' again 
If we wanna have a life like we did back then 
We've got a second change to let someone in 
Hey, we gotta get good at givin' again 
We gotta get good at givin' again 

It oughta tell us something 
When the ones we should be lovin' 
Ain't getting what they need 
Don't be afraid to make the first move 
Take the lead 

We gotta get good at givin' again 
If we wanna have a life like we did back then 
We've got a second change to let someone in 
Hey, we gotta get good at givin' again 
We gotta get good at givin' again 

Hey, we gotta get good at givin' again 
We gotta get good at givin' again
