From the Heart Down

We

Watch each other even when we sleep

For some small protection

It's a promise we keep

Love

Is hard to define

It runs in circles round the mind

But a circle

Ain't a circle

If it's not complete

Oh

Love me from the heart down

If it hurts or if it's bliss

Love me from the heart down

Reveal me with a kiss

My senses must compete with a brain that lets me down

Down down

We

Satisfy each other but the hunger still remains

You sink into my flesh

Like a knife

When day comes to an end

We take off all our clothes

And stand naked

Face to face

With real life

Oh

Love me from the heart down

Get me on the floor

Love me from the heart down

Go under and then come back for more

Analytical patter

Gives love the run around

Around

You can't hold a theory

Won't you love me

Love me from the heart down

We

Misconstrue intentions

When there's distance in between

Longing hurts the teeth

Like something sweet

When

You're not here with me

You become a memory

Thic aching feels like some kind

Of defeat

Oh

Love me from the heart down

Get me on the phone

Love me from the heart down

Lie and say you're

Coming home

True confessions need the make-up

Of a clown

Smiles are deceiving

Won't you love me

Love me from the heart down
