love & greed

Blues Traveler

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 gonna take to
wanting
A greedy man gonna do the same
One is a man
before congratulations
One is to make you feel the need to
strain

You say look at him but look once again
When you re living on the tastes of a different man
Love and greed are one and the same

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
