Jeffrey Gaines A Dark Love Song
Long, long time ago
My mother told me
As far as she knows
Lovin' was only
For those who love themselves
And it ain't for no one else
And you've got to hold inside
A certain amount of pride
Long, long way from home
It seems I've forgotten
All that I was told
And the heartache is startin'
And those who love themselves
Aren't enslaved to no one else
And they don't have to compromise
And they don't have to cover their eyes
Seems I'm trapped, I can't break free
Without you who would I be?
And I branded myself powerless
Is my need my cowardice?
She's got bruises but she'll wear them for love
He's got disease but he'll bear it for love
Don't know what Cupid was thinkin' of
So many of us just slaves for love
Long, long train of fools
I'm in there somewhere
Cause life ain't got no rules
But somehow I still care
For those who love themselves
Even more than I love myself
And though you bring me pain and sorrow
I'll still be here tomorrow
It seems I'm trapped I can't break free
Without you who would I be?
And I branded myself powerless
Is my need my cowardice?
She's got bruises but she'll wear them for love
He's got a new disease but he'll bear it for love
Don't know what cupid was thinkin' of
So many of us just slaves for love
Fools for love
