There'll be girls across the nation That will 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 my love love love love. Love love love love. 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 a garden of Love love love love Love Love love love 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 We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us Oh, But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up And get started At keeping your part of the bargain aw please Little darlin' You're killing me sweetly with love love love love Love love love love Only thing I ever could need only one good thing Worth trying to be Love Love Love Love I do it for Love Love Love Love 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 her 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. 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, So give love, love
