From the Heart Down

We watch each other Even when we sleep For some small protection It's a promise we keep Love is hard to define It runs in circles round the mind A circle ain't a circle If it's not complete Oh Love me from the heart down If it hurts or if it's bliss Love me from the heart down Reveal me with a kiss My senses must compete With a brain that lets me down Down down We satisfy each other But the hunger still remains You sink into my flesh like a knife When day comes to an end We take off all our clothes, stand naked Face to face with real life Oh Love me from the heart down Get me on the floor Love me from the heart down Go under and then come back for more Analytical patter Gives love the run around, around You can't hold a theory Won't you love me? Love me from the heart down We misconstrue intentions When there's distance in between Longing hurts the teeth Like something sweet When you're not here with me You become a memory This aching feels like Some kind of defeat Oh Love me from the heart down Get me on the phone Love me from the heart down Lie and say you're coming home True confessions need the make-up of a clown Smiles are deceiving Won't you love me? Love me from the heart down
