 Maybe your momma  didn't treat  you right;
 Maybe her intentions weren't even very good
 Maybe your daddy  laid awake  at night
 Imagining himself in some other neighbourhood
 Left to our own devices -  like maybe they were too
 Out on the open road  and wondering what to do
 You ask how we got  here: baby, don't ask how
 Cause that was sometime  other than now
 "It takes what it takes" - that's what they told us girl
 Done a lot of dumb things, probably do some more
 On two different paths running round on different worlds
 We finally found each other, who we were looking for
 I see my own reflection and I give my love to you
 It shot back like an arrow, so straight and true
 You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask how
 Cause that was sometime other than now
  I'm not leaving  babe, whatever's  come, right  here and now
 Maybe tommorrow we can take  it
  I'm not grieving  baby, any  more - the  past is gone
 We can't fake it; baby let's make  it with this love  of ours somehow
 A little bit of feel, you know it goes a long way
 It's followed us around since we were little kids
 Just a little faith, baby, baby, some day
 We will have the strength, the strength to forgive
 Don't come all of a sudden, but when it's here at last
 You'd blink your eyes and miss it, it happens so fast
 You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask how
 Cause that was sometime other than now
 Yeah that was sometime  other than now
