Don´t know much about practicing what I preach,
Don´t know how to be envious without jealousy,
Don´t know how to hold my temper, when I have to get in the last word,
Don´t know how to speak softly and still be heard,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...

God if you´re listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you´re listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.

Don´t know much about love cause I get the same crap from every guy,
Don´t know how to see the grass being greener on my side,
Don´t know much about wisdom without being jaded,
Don´t know how to take criticism without feeling hated,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...

God if you´re listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you´re listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.

Whoa man, I´m everything I said I wouldn´t be,
Standing here with nothing, will you help me?

Don´t know how to tell a joke without putting my foot in my mouth,
Don´t know how to be intimate if I don´t have a crowd,
Don´t know how to be hopeful, what if they let me down?
I don´t know how to keep myself from hurting everyone...

God if you´re listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you´re listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.

Oh, God, I don´t know much about nothing.
No, so give me a break.
Anyway, won´t anybody listen to me?
Oh, oh.
