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
