Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There'll be girls across the nation
That'll eat this up babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it
No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again
[Verse 2]
My love, love-love-love
Love-love-love-love
[Verse 3]
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much
Except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in the garden of
Love, love-love-love
Love, love-love-love
[Verse 4]
Only thing I ever could need
Only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love
Love
Love
Love
[Verse 5]
We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us
Oh but sensible sells
Could you kindly shut up
And get started
At keeping your part of the bargain
Aw please little darling
You're killing me sweetly with
Love, love-love-love
Love, love-love-love
[Verse 6]
Only thing I ever could need
Only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love
Love
Love
Love
[Verse 7]
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker
But it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall
You meant to make me happy, make me sad
Want to make it better-better so bad
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here
[Verse 8]
Love you're all I ever could need
Only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love
Love
Love
Love
Oh only gonna get-get what you give away
Love, love, love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love
