Lyrics Mavis Staples

Mavis Staples

Love and Trust

The simplest things can be the hardest to do

Can't find what you're looking for even when it's looking for you

The judge and the criminal, the sinner and the priest

Got something in common, bring 'em all to their knees

Do what you can, do what you must

Everybody's crying to find some love and trust

I walk the line, I walk it for us

See me out here tryin' to find some love and trust

(Love and trust)

(Love and trust)

Lust ain't an offender but stealing from a thief

Storm after storm leave you shaking like a leaf

They say broken hearts make the world go around

Trading headaches for heartaches, wanna get you down

Give it some time, don't try to rush

When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust

Do what you can, might not be enough

When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust

Like a horse in a race who don't wanna run

Like an executioner who won't fire his gun

Like a boxer yo who won't take a swing

Just like a prince who don't wanna be king

Haven't we suffered, suffered enough

Now we're out here tryin' to find some love and trust

Do what you can, do what you must

Everybody's trying to find some love and trust

Everybody's trying to find some love and trust

Everybody

(Love and trust)

Do what you must

Everybody, everybody wants love and trust

(Love and trust)

Do all you can, do what you must

Oh Lord, we want some love and trust

(Love and trust)
