True Romance
Nu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where did you go, my love?
Why don′t we spend
The rest of time just loving?

I don't need anything more than your
Tenderness, tenderness!
I just want you
To feel the same

First instant of a true romance
Walkin′ 'bout, talkin'
Til the end of day

And I feel shining
More than smile every morning
Just like the sun right up
The sun right up, the sun...

Making plans
Talking ′bout all the dreams
Sharing what′s gotta
Want some better days

The revolution
Is coming right here
It's going to blow it all
To blow it all, to blow...

Every day, every day when I wake up and rise
I feel that weight on my shoulders
Is this real, real, real?
Every day, every day when I wake up and rise
I feel that weight on my shoulders
Is this real, real, real?

Where did you go, my love?
Why don′t we spend
The rest of time just loving?

I don't need anything more than your
Tenderness, tenderness!
I just want you
To feel the same

It′s been a while
Since we???
Bringin' bits on pieces
Won′t change our life!

Well I still need you
Not the way that I've told you
And would work it out
Work it out, work...

Every day, every day when I wake up and rise
I feel that weight on my shoulders
Is this real, real, real?

Every day, every day when I wake up and rise
I feel that weight on my shoulders
Is this real, real, real?

Every day, every day when I wake up and rise
I feel that weight on my shoulders
Is this real, real, real?

Where did you go, my love?
Why don't we spend
The rest of time just loving?
I don′t need anything more than your





Tenderness, tenderness!
