Makin' It Plain

by Helen Baylor

on Love Brought Me Back (1996)

Oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh...
(Makin' it plain for ya)
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah
(Makin' it plain for ya)
Hey, oh-oh...

There you are again, little lonely one
Thinking life is over when it's just begun
The streets are your new home, danger is your friend
You keep trying to get out, but they pull you back in
I know you read the signs of the times
You know things ain't getting no better
Don't let nobody tell you it doesn't matter
You know you need a plan, but you just don't understand

So I'm makin' it plain for ya
Jesus is the way for ya
You don't need another thrill
Jesus is the real deal

You had a few bad breaks in your young life
It seems that no one heard you when you cried
In the name of love, you'd do anything
But what you think is love only brings you pain
Somebody's got to tell you the truth
Take a stand, no matter what the cost
Don't let nobody tell you it doesn't matter
You know you need a plan, but you just don't understand

So I'm, uh, makin' it plain for ya
(I'm makin' it plain for ya)
Jesus is the way for ya
(Ease it or understand)
You don't need another thrill
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Jesus is the real deal
(Makin' it plain)

So I'm makin' it plain for ya
Jesus is the way for ya
(Ease it or understand, yeah, yeah)
You don't need another thrill
(He is the real deal, yeah)
Jesus is the real deal
(Oh-oh-oh, yes, He is)

Somebody's got to tell you the truth
Take a stand, no matter what the cost
Jesus came, ah, He came, if He can save the lost
I know the man who wrote it, I'll never sugar-coat it

I'm makin' it plain for ya
(Oh, yeah)
Jesus is the way for ya
(I'm makin' it plain for ya, oh, yeah)
You don't need another thrill
(Oh, yeah)
Jesus is the real deal

Makin' it plain for ya
(I'm makin' it plain, yeah)
Jesus is the way for ya
(For you, yes, I am, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
You don't need another thrill
(Got to make it plain, oh, yeah)
Jesus is the real deal

Somebody's gotta tell you, tell you
(Makin' it plain for ya)
Gotta tell you
You can call on the name of Jesus
(Makin' it plain for ya)
Call on the name of Jesus
He's the only way to a better life, Jesus
(Makin' it plain)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, Jesus
I gotta make it plain, yeah
(Makin' it plain)
It's so simple, it's a shame, yeah
Oh, yeah, hey, mine is Jesus...
