I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try Sometimes the truth won't make you happy So I'm not gonna lie But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you It beats only for you I know I'm far from perfect Nothing like your entourage I can't grant you any wishes I won't promise you the stars But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you It beats only for you 'Cause when you given up When no matter what you do, it's never good enough When you never thought that it could ever get this tough That's when you feel my kind of love And when you're crying out When you fall and then can't pick You're heavy on the ground When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around That's when you feel my kind of love You won't see me at the parties I guess I'm just no fun I won't be turning up the radio Singing baby you're the one But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you It beats only for you I know sometimes I get angry and I'd say what I don't mean I know I keep my heart protected, far away from my sleeve But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you It beats only for you 'Cause when you given up When no matter what you do, it's never good enough When you never thought that it could ever get this tough That's when you feel my kind of love And when you're crying out When you fall and then can't pick You're heavy on the ground When the friends you thought you had Haven't stuck around That's when you feel my kind of love 'Cause when you given up When no matter what you do, it's never good enough When you never thought that it could ever get this tough That's when you feel my kind of love
