Love Me
Chris Roberts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Treat me like a fool
Treat me mean and cruel
But love me

Wring my faithful heart
Tear it all apart
But love me
If you ever go
Darling, I'll be oh-so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you, dear only

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go
Darling, I'll be oh-so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you, dear only

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go
Darling, I'll be oh-so lonely
Beggin' on knees




All I ask is, please, please, love me
Oh yeah
