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
