Pretenders Follow

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
