Lyrics
I can't strain my brain
I know how it feels to worry all the time
I can't take the pain
I know how it feels to worry over just a dime
Yes, pleasure was made for us to see
And we're gonna have to be free, keep on runnin'
When you feel her pullin' back you're goin' strong
Don't stop runnin' if you're real
You'll never slack, you got to go on
Yes, pleasure was made for us to see
That we're gonna have to be free
Can't strain my brain
When I feel somebody tryin' to bring me down
Won't take the rain
Don't you know you'll never catch me lyin' down
Can't bust a man
If he feels to make it easier to see
Can't trust a man
And that trust should take the lovin' out of me, yeah
Yes pleasure was made, for us to see
We're just gonna have to be free
Can't strain my brain
Can't take the rain
Damn this pain
Do you know my name?
