I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh, I wanna give you my (heart)
I wanna give you my (love)
I wanna give you my (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna be together
Together for forever
But I don't think that you can see our love that far.
'Cause when I'm givin' you lovin' I feel you're holdin' back
We can be in the same room and I don't know where you're at
You say you love me love me, but do you love me I don't know-o-o-o-o-o-ow
Oh-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh, I tried to give you my (everything)
I wasn't askin' for much (only one ring)
But we can work it out (no-o-o-o, no-o-o-o, don't go-o-o-o)
Oh, oh, oh
I need you in my life
Don't wanna live a lie
But I don't know if you gon' take
Boy make some sense to me
'Cause when I'm givin' you lovin' I feel you're holdin' back
We can be in the same room and I don't know where you're at
You say you love me love me, but do you love me I don't know-o-o-o-o-o-ow
Oh-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du, I
I love u, yes I du,
But I don't know how
You feel
About me
It's just not fa-a-a-a-a-a-air fa-a-a-a-a-a-air
Oh

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask of me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should!!!!!
@angelaluis4702
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One!
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothin' now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One
