Desert Rose (Live Strings Version)

[Verse 1]
"Inshallah," that's what you say
You think I lost my faith
You won't speak my name
Forbidden, I won't see you again
I chose a life of sin
I wish you could forgive

[Pre-Chorus]
I got sharp edges, I get defensive
Too lost to care, middle finger in the air
I'm sorry that I scared ya
Be my protector when I cross the Sahara
Take me there, take me there and

[Chorus]
Love me like a desert rose
Hold me like you can't let go
Keep me safe when I come home
Love me like a desert rose

[Verse 2]
Regarde nous

Toi et moi, tous les deux les mêmes

[Pre-Chorus]
I got sharp edges, I get defensive
Too lost to care, middle finger in the air
I'm sorry that I scared ya
Be my protector when I cross the Sahara
Take me there, take me there and

[Chorus]
(Love me) Love me like a desert rose
Hold me like you can't let go (Like you can't let go)
Keep me safe when I come home (Oh, when I come home)
Love me like a–

[Bridge]

Hold me, is that too much? (Habibi)
Keep me safe when I come home (Habibi)
Love me, ah, love me like a–

[Chorus]
Love me like a desert rose (Like a desert rose)
Hold me like you can't let go (Like you can't let go)
Keep me safe when I come home (When I come home)
Love me like a–

[Outro]
Like a desert
Habibi, habibi, ah (Habibi)
Habibi, habibi, ah (Habibi)
Habibi, habibi, ah (Habibi)
Won't you love me?
Love me
No, won't you love me?
