Blues Traveler - Love & Greed lyrics

Music: Chan Kinchla

Lyrics: John Popper

I want to tell you about something special

I want to tell you what makes men need

I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into

I think I'm talking 'bout love & greed

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed

'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed

A man in love willing to walk through fire

A greedy man like a moth to a flame

A man in love willing to go half crazy

A greedy man likely to go insane

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed

'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed

So the trap's been set and you've took the bait

You saw it all go down just a little too late

But now you're hooked and to your surprise

You saw how some of it was real and some was lies

But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much

And there's never been a cure for that as such

You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home

But like it or not you're no longer alone

A man in love don't know what he's doing

A greedy man always says he does

A man in love sold his soul up the river

That's where a greedy man's soul always was

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed

'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
