From the Heart Down - Pretenders

From the Heart Down Lyrics

We watch each other even when we sleep
For some small protection
It's a promise we keepLove is hard to define
It runs in circles round the mind
But a circle ain't a circle
If it's not completeOh, love me from the heart down
If it hurts or if it's bliss
Love me from the heart down
Reveal me with a kissMy senses must compete
With a brain that lets me down
Down, downWe satisfy each other
But the hunger still remains
You sink into my flesh like a knifeWhen day comes to an end
We take off all our clothes
And stand naked face to face
With real lifeOh, love me from the heart down
Get me on the floor
Love me from the heart down

Go under and then come back for moreAnalytical patter
Gives love the run around, around
You can't hold a theory
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart downWe misconstrue intentions
When there's distance in between
Longing hurts the teeth
Like something sweetWhen you're not here with me
You become a memory
This aching feels like some kind
Of defeatOh, love me from the heart down
Get me on the phone
Love me from the heart down
Lie and say you're coming homeTrue confessions need the make up
Of a clown, clown
Smiles are deceiving
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down
