Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Love, I have wounds only you can mend

You can mend, oh, oh, oh

I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Feel, my skin is rough, but it can be cleansed

It can be cleansed, oh, oh, oh

And my arms are tough, but they can be bent

They can be bent

And I wanna fight, but I can't contend

[Verse 3]

I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]

Oh, feel our bodies grow

And our souls, they blend

Yeah, love, I hope you know

How much my heart depends

[Verse 5]

But I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh

I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 6]

Oh, feel our bodies grow

And our souls, they blend

Yeah, love, I hope you know

How much my heart depends

[Verse 7]

I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh

I guess that's love, I can't pretend

I can't pretend, oh, oh, oh
