lyrics

Before we started talking,
we were talking about love.
And no, no words were technically exchanged,
but our mouths were moving --
the meaning was clear upon our lips and the tip of our tongues.

And your hands said, "Hand it over."
And your eyes said, "I want more."
More soul than body forfeits
when it loses tug-of-war --
and I'm tugging at your shoulders now.

I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
LET IT OUT, LET IT OUT THAT I LET YOU IN
I'VE GOT YOUR HAIR ON MY CLOTHES
BECAUSE IT ONLY TAKES YOU GIRL
TO BRING ME BACK TO THE AGE OF FOUR
GOT ME SCREAMING ON THE GROCERY STORE FLOOR
IF I WAS RICH I'D STILL BE POOR FOR YOUR AFFECTION.

I said, "I love the way your hair falls down."

Would you love me if it all falls out?

I fell for you, not for your feathers,
let them falter, at the altar I will praise them --
praise the woman, praise her.

Baby, love is electric --
a shiver in your vein that ends up with bills to pay.
Baby love is a driver's license --
you want it bad, but then you're stuck in traffic,
behind the wheel all day.
Then you wonder: Why?
Then you wonder: How?
Then you wonder: Did I miss the fine print?
I was told that I would never want for anything but

I DON'T FEEL THE SAME.
