Only Love

Sitting on my window seal
Strumming my guitar strings
Got an audience of galaxies and constellations
They listen to me sing

And suddenly my mind drifts back
To a girl from my past
Back then she made me cry
Now she makes me laugh

'Cause she forgot me just as fast
As she learned me
And I don't know why I revel in these battles
That I have lost, no it's not to remember the heartache
Must be to remember that I fought

'Cause it's only love, love, it's only love
It goes and it comes
Yes, it's only love, love, it's only love
When you need it most it is bound to run
Oh, but believe me when I tell you
That you cannot live without it, even though it's only love

So I stroll on down to the corner bar
Just to hear the latest jive
Thinking maybe by seeing
Some of my good time buddies it would
Make me feel more alive

But I know I'm wrong
Just as soon as I walk through the door
See everyone using that alcohol
Just like you use a street whore
Nah, I ain't gonna find
What I'm looking for in a bottle

And in the midst of all these faces
Trying to hide there losing hands
I wonder who will try there luck and fold
And who is gonna try there luck and stand

'Cause it's only love, love, its only love
It goes and it comes
Yes, it's only love, love, it's only love
When you need it most it is bound to run
Oh, but believe me when I tell you
That you cannot live without it, even though it's only love

When she left me I said I would be alright
But it looks like I was wrong
Oh, and I don't understand this
'Cause before we met I was alright with being alone

So maybe it's true that I am just a fool
You know I always have tried
To play things a little too cool
Believing it's my turn to win, when it's my turn to lose

'Cause it's only love, love, its only love
It goes and it comes
Yes, it's only love, love, it's only love
When you need it most it is bound to run
Oh, but believe me when I tell you
That you cannot live without it, even though it's only love
