Let's Call It Love
Sleater-Kinney Lyrics

My dear, look at my face
I am eagerly waiting for you, let's talk.

I've been waiting for you in the same old place
I've been waiting here for a while, don't be a stranger.

I've got a long time for love
I'm ready and willing to invest in our relationship.

Jewels could spill from my cup
I have a lot to offer in this relationship, materially and emotionally.

But it's all locked down, and I'm all locked up
I have built some emotional walls, but I'm looking for the right person to open up to.

A woman is not a girl
I'm a mature woman who knows what I want and I'm not here to play games.

I could show you a thing or two
I have life experience that I can bring to our relationship.

Come on let's go to the mat
Let's work through our issues together, face to face.

Hit the floor honey, let's battle it out
Our relationship might have some tough spots, but I'm willing to fight for it.

Slow moves and dirty tricks
Relationships can be complicated and not always easy.

Want it like you never have
Let's be passionate and committed to making this work.

Timing and tiger strength
Success in our relationship will require patience, timing and strength.

Strategy will put you past
We need to work together to plan and strategize for our future.

Show me your darkest side
I want to know the real you, even the parts you might be afraid to show.

And you better be my bloody match
Our relationship won't work unless we're equally committed and invested.

c'mon let's play a game
Let's have fun and enjoy the time we spend together.

It won't hurt just say my name
I want you to be comfortable with me, let's build trust and communication.

Roll the dice, take your card
Our future is unpredictable, let's take chances and see where it takes us.

Let's see if your number's up
Our relationship might require some risk-taking, let's take that leap together.

Pony up and try and guess my hand,
Let's work together, communicate and understand each other's needs and wants.

What have I learned from experience?
I have had my heart broken before, but I'm willing to be vulnerable again.

Let's call it my royal flush,
I want to build a strong, lasting relationship with you.

I can show you what to do with it
Let's grow and learn together as a couple.

It's such a long time, I've wasted such a long time
Love is precious and I've been waiting for a long time to find someone special.

Been such a lotta time, I've wasted all my fuckin' time
I've had my share of failed relationships, but I'm ready to move forward.

All my life I've waited for a (Honey wanna call it a?) Love
I've been searching for true love and I think we might have found it.

Let's call it love (Let's call it love, Let's call it love)
I want to label what we have as true love and see where it takes us.

My body is all shook up, Like a bottle of pop and I wanna go off
I'm attracted to you and I feel a strong physical connection.

Lock the door, lock it on up, I won't let you go until I've had enough
I want to be with you, and I'm not going to let go easily.

One thing, one thing more, One thing more before you go
I have something important to say before we part.
