Baby, why do they say the things they say

Would it be easier to live the way they say we should

Maybe, cannot but wonder back this way

Yours are the only arms that make me feel like something can be good



I believe it's just a fact of life

Unless they wear our shoes to them it's black and white



Ooohhhh



Just what does it matter anyway

What side of the road we're standing on

And just what does it matter anyway

If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone

If nothing changes after we are gone



Baby, don't let them rob you of your pride

There's not a thing I wouldn't do to make this easier for you

Maybe, every now and then I laugh and cry

It's getting harder now for me to separate the two



Where does innocence turn in to make believe

Cause make believe there's no one here but me and you



Ohhh



Just what does it matter anyway

What side of the road we're standing on

And just what does it matter anyway

If you throw my love away because the world don't think it's right

And they may never understand

And you can't change the minds of those who are blind

Unless you give them sight

And the world lies in your hand



Tell me, and just what does it matter anyway

If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone

If nothing changes after we are gone
