Pretenders 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
But 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
And 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, clown
Smiles are deceiving
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down
