Foster, let me talk to you
Nobody taught me how to love
Doing the best that I can
Love, sometimes I don't understand
I can't hear dark to light
I can't smell day to night
I can't taste black or white
But if you give me a chance, maybe I can love you right
Seven years old in a trailer
Mom and daddy were absently present
Even summers were cold, and then later
I built up the deepest resentment
That made my trust turn to doubt
Reluctant and hesitant, past pain was the evidence
Be patient with me
There's no denying that I'm trying but
Nobody taught me how to love
Doing the best that I can
Love, sometimes I don't understand
I can't hear dark to light
I can't smell day to night
I can't taste black or white
But if you give me a chance, maybe I can love you right
