Never woulda seen the trouble that i'm in... if it hadn't been for love 
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind... if it hadn't been for love 
Nobody knows it better than me 
I wouldn't be wishing I was free 
if it hadn't been... if it hadn't been for love

Never woulda gone to that side of town... if it hadn't been for love

Never woulda loaded up a forty four 
put myself behind a jail house door
