When I wanna try for your love, daddy. I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I can't get it together. I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man — I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right — You ain't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. Well I tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man. Because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man, and that's all you've got. You gotta call that love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day, man. So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh, You gotta hold him like it's the last minute in your life, baby. You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him 'Cause someday some weight's gonna come on your shoulders, babe, It's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you, It's gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy, And a chain. Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain Lyrics I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half the world is still crying too, man. I just can't get it together. I mean, if you gotta' care for one day, man. I don't mean, if you, say maybe you wanna' care for 365 days, right? You ain't got 365 days. You got it for one day, man. That's all you got. You gotta' call that love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today you don't wear it tomorrow, man. 'Cause you don't need it. 'Cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day, man.
