How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
I'll walk a water mile
Rest a while to kiss your smile
Laugh and roll and after a while
I'll begin to like your style
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
She turned me down this time
She turned me down
Lord, I can't believe she
She turned me down
She turned me inside out
She turned me down
All I ask of you
Is turn me up this time
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
Come on over show me your
Your glow soul I do adore
I'll be sure to drop my guard
Give it up it's not that hard
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
She turned me down this time
She turned me down
Lord, I can't believe she
She turned me down
She turned me inside out
She turned me down
All I ask of you
Is turn me up this time
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
Tested life but that's alright
Darker than the darkest night
Living hell and pollocks at you
Getting new down your back
How strong is my love?
How wrong could it be?
