Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't want excuses

I don't want your smiles

I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand of miles

And I don't want your attitude, I don't want your things

But I don't want a phone that never rings

I want your love

[Verse 2]

And I want it now

I want your love

And I want it now

[Verse 3]

I don't want your history

I don't want that stuff

I want you to shut your mouth, that would be enough

I don't care if you've been here before

You don't understand

Tonight I feel above the law, I'm coming into land, I want your love

[Verse 4]

And I want it now

I want your love

And I want it now

[Verse 5]

My heart is that much harder now

That's what I thought before today

My heart is that much harder now

I thought that it would stay that way

Before today

[Verse 6]

Before today

But I don't want a phone that never rings

I want your love

And I want it now

I want your love

And I want it now

[Verse 7]

I want your love

I want your love

I want your love

I want your love

I want your love

I want your love

I want your love
