Lyrics
[Intro]
Huh
[Instrumental]
The opposite
The opposite of love is fear
I'm still trying to get (Hm)
Used to how the former feels
'Cause it feels so new
You think you know me
Wait 'til I open up to you
[Chorus]
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
[Verse 1]
A deeper way
A deeper way to understand
To understand the line between
Who you are and who I am, baby
'Cause to let you in (I want your love, I want your love now)
Is true compromise (I want your love)
Not just the friction of our skin (I want your love now)
[Chorus]
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little experimental)
[Bridge]
I guess, I guess (I guess, I guess)
I could, I guess (I could, I guess)
Guess I oughta clean up these bloody fists if it's alright
And yes, I guess (And yes, I guess)
It's for the best (It's for the best)
Guess you really gotta call your own bluff if you want pure love
[Instrumental]
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
[Outro]
If I want your love, ooh
And if I want your love
(I give a little, you give a little
We get a little sentimental)
