Some summers in the evening after six or so I walk on down the hill and may be buy a beer I think about my friends, sometimes I wish they lived out here But they wouldn't dig this town, no they wouldn't dig this town Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore, no Alice the world is full of ugly things that you can't change Pretend it's not that way, that's my idea of faith You can blow it off and say there's good in nearly everyone Just give them all a chance, just give them all a chance Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore No it didn't work out, no it didn't work out The way we thought it would, no it didn't work out An arranged marriage is not so good Thank God it's you, you know your timing is impeccable I'm not fooling you, I don't know what to do Some dude just knocked me cold and left me on the sidewalk Took everything I had, everything I had Try not to thing about it, Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore It's getting light where you are, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore, anymore, no not anymore
