The Pretenders - From the Heart Down Lyrics

We watch each other
Even when we sleep
For some small protection
It's a promise we keep

Love is hard to define
It runs in circles
Round the mind
But a circle
Ain't a circle
If it's not complete

Oh love me from the heart down
If it hurts or if it's bliss
Love me from the heart down
Reveal me with a kiss
My senses must compete
With a brain that let's me down
Down...down

We satisfy each other
But the hunger still remains
You sink into my flesh like a knife
When day comes to an end
We take off all our clothes
And stand naked face to face
With real life

Oh love me from the heart down
Get me on the floor
Love me from the heart down
Go under
And then come back for more
Analytical patter
Gives love the run around, around
You can't hold a theory
Won't you love me
From the heart down

We misconstrue intentions
When there's distance in-between
Longing hurts the teeth
Like something sweet
When you're not here with me
You become a memory
This aching feels
Like some kind of defeat

Oh love me from the heart down
Get me on the phone
Love me from the heart down
Lie and say you're coming home
True confessions need
The make-up of a clown
Smiles are deceiving
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down
