You Want My Love
GENRE [Verse 1]
If you want simple
I don't do simple
Go ahead and find someone who does
Just squint your eyelids
At arm length distance
It might start to seem like it's enough
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it's gonna look damn good from far away
Yeah it's gonna look damn good from far away
[Chorus 1]
But if you want the real thing
Yeah if you want the real thing
Then you want my love
[Verse 2]
If you want easy
My love's not easy
It's gonna fuck your shit up
So go find an actor
With cheap poetry on his lips
He'll never question what you're made of
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it's gonna feel damn good for a minute
Yeah it's gonna feel damn good for a minute or two
[Chorus 2]
But if you want the real thing
Yeah if you want the real thing
Then you want my love
Oh, you want my love
[Bridge]
And it's hard enough
When all you feel is emptiness
It's not enough
To say the words in artifice
And you love yourself
But not enough to let me in
Or anyone who sees you
For exactly what you are
Perfect and afraid
[Verse 3]
If you want honest
My love is honest
Most people don't like the truth
Well my truth is simple
My words are easy
I wanna put your goodness to good use
[Chorus 3]
'Cause I am the real thing
My love is the real thing
And my love is for you
If you want simple
I don't do simple
Go ahead and find someone who does
Just squint your eyelids
At arm length distance
It might start to seem like it's enough
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it's gonna look damn good from far away
Yeah it's gonna look damn good from far away
[Chorus 1]
But if you want the real thing
Yeah if you want the real thing
Then you want my love
[Verse 2]
If you want easy
My love's not easy
It's gonna fuck your shit up
So go find an actor
With cheap poetry on his lips
He'll never question what you're made of
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it's gonna feel damn good for a minute
Yeah it's gonna feel damn good for a minute or two
[Chorus 2]
But if you want the real thing
Yeah if you want the real thing
Then you want my love
Oh, you want my love
[Bridge]
And it's hard enough
When all you feel is emptiness
It's not enough
To say the words in artifice
And you love yourself
But not enough to let me in
Or anyone who sees you
For exactly what you are
Perfect and afraid
[Verse 3]
If you want honest
My love is honest
Most people don't like the truth
Well my truth is simple
My words are easy
I wanna put your goodness to good use
[Chorus 3]
'Cause I am the real thing
My love is the real thing
And my love is for you
