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
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
