There'll be times When my crimes Will seem almost unforgivable I give in to sin Because you have to make this life livable But when you think I've had enough From your sea of love I'll take more than another river full Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile I'll make your heart smile Strangelove Strange highs and strange lows Strangelove That's how my love goes Strangelove Will you give it to me? Will you take the pain I will give to you? Again and again And will you return it? There'll be days When I'll stray I may appear to be Constantly out of reach I give in to sin Because I like to practice what I preach I'm not trying to say I'll have it all my way I'm always willing to learn When you've got something to teach And I'll make it all worthwhile I'll make your heart smile Pain, will you return it? I'll say it again, pain Pain, will you return it? I'll say it again, pain Pain, will you return it? I'll say it again, pain Pain, will you return it? I won't say it again Strangelove Strange highs and strange lows Strangelove That's how my love goes Strangelove Will you give it to me? Strangelove Strange highs and strange lows Strangelove That's how my love goes Strangelove Will you give it to me? Strangelove Strange highs and strange lows Strangelove That's how my love goes Strangelove Will you give it to me? I give in Again and again I give in Will you give it to me? I give in I'll say it again I give in I give in Again and again I give in That's how my love goes I give in I'll say it again I give in I give in
