Pretenders - From the Heart Down lyrics

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
Thic 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
Smiles are deceiving won't you love me
Love me from the heart down
