You may not see the end of it But luckily she comes around It isn't what she talks about It's just the way she is (...and she says) Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes (She says) Ooh babe why don't you let it go? Happiness aint never how you think it should be so I mystified the simple life I covered up with consciousness I saw myself and broke it down 'Til nothing more was left She saw the symptoms right away And spoke to me in poetry "Sometimes the more you wonder why The worse it seems to get" (...and she says) Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes (She says) Ooh babe why don't you let it go? Happiness aint never how you think it should be so She runs away She runs away... And then you know there comes a time You need her more than anything You may believe yours are the wounds That only she can heal Then everything will turn around And she becomes so serious What she chose to offer you Was all that you could have (...and she says) Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes (She says) Ooh babe why don't you let it go? Happiness aint never how you think it should be so She runs away She runs away She runs away She runs away
