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
