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
