She stood outside

In the middle of the night

Looking so far away

As far as she could see

Where the sky meets the land

Looking for answers

Her life is falling apart

Her marriage is on the rocks

She thinks about her mother

She thinks about her children

She thinks about the church

And everybody that thought

They had it made in heaven

Suddenly the comfort

In the house don' t mean nothing

All she needs is some loving

In her life

Oh God

Chorus:

Put a little love

In my world

In her mind

The dream is still alive

But if you ask me

I can' t tell you right now

It' s a losing battle

Her mother told her

About this time

The vows she took

Were a mere formality

But in her life

They became a reality

And by the look of things

She' s fighting a losing battle

Joleen is about to take her man

Why do bad things happen

To good people?

She thinks about her mother

She thinks about her children

She thinks about the church

Suddenly the money in the house

Don' t mean nothing

All she needs is love

Chorus:

till fade
