Idina Menzel - Penny Lyrics

Don't know much
About practicing what I preach
Don't know how
To be envious without jealousy

Don't know how to hold my temper
When I have to get in the last word
Don't know how to speak softly
And still be heard

But before I lose everything
And everyone who loves me

God, if you're listening, would you have a message sent?
'Cause I need to be a better lover, brother and a friend
God, if you're listening, would you come up with some change?
'Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name

Don't know much about love
'Cause I get the same crap from every guy
Don't know how to see the grass
Being greener on my side

Don't know much about
Wisdom without being jaded
Don't know how to take criticism
Without feeling hated

But before I lose everything
And everyone who loves me

God, if you're listening, would you have a message sent?
'Cause I need to be a better lover, brother and a friend
God, if you're listening, would you come up with some change?
'Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name

Whoa, man, I'm everything I said I wouldn't be
Standing here with nothing, will you help me?

Don't know how to tell a joke
Without putting my foot in my mouth
Don't know how to be intimate
If I don't have a crowd

Don't know how to be hopeful
What if they let me down?
I don't know how to keep myself
From hurting everyone

God, if you're listening, would you have a message sent?
'Cause I need to be a better lover, brother and a friend
God, if you're listening, would you come up with some change?
'Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name

God, if you're listening, would you have a message sent?
'Cause I need to be a better lover, brother and a friend
God, if you're listening, would you come up with some change?
'Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name
