"If I Had An Ounce Of Sense" lyrics

If I Had An Ounce Of Sense

If I only had an ounce of sense

If I only had an ounce of sense
I'd come in out of the pain
And never let your lightning love
Ever strike my heart again

I'd swim from your flood of lies
When the deluge got intense
Yes, I'd come in out of the pain
If I only had an ounce of sense

Now the Dutch boy plugged up
The leak in the dike
And Noah built an ark we hear
And any old port in the storm will do
When the weather gets severe

I'm standing in your void of love
And the tears are about to commence
Yes, I'd come in out of the pain
If I only had an ounce of sense

If I only had an ounce of sense
I'd come in out of the pain
Not stay in your raging sea of love
Just a waiting for the calm again

When the heartache came my way
I'd wait for the altar sign
If I only had an ounce of sense
In this lovesick heart of mine

Now the Dutch boy plugged up
The leak in the dike
And Noah built an ark we hear
Any old port in the storm will do
When the weather gets severe

I'm standing in your void of love
And the tears are about to commence
Yes, I'd come in out of the pain
If I only had an ounce of sense
If I only had an ounce of sense
