Give me love I swear all I need is your heart (your heart) Oh baby Give me love Tell me where you need me to stop I swear all I need is your love Honestly, I'm afraid to give love Deep down I'm afraid to be judged That's why I pull back, don't speak no rap Put on the beat back every time we hug It's deep, I'm afraid of heartbreak so much The thought alone feels like my soul got cut My heart's wide open, baby show me mercy Life is a desert and for love I'm thirsty You lead me to the water, I'm afraid to drink You hand me a glass, still don't know what to think Your love is terrifying, I'm standing on the brink I'm floating in your eyes then I start to sink Girl, I never knew that I could feel so weak Flying on a cloud in-between these sheets I'm one with myself, why do I retreat? It's a battle just to try to go to sleep Give me love I swear all I need is your heart (your heart) Oh baby Give me love Tell me where you need me to stop I swear all I need is your love (Hook: Seal & LL Cool J) Everybody knows that falling in love's easy, climbing out's hard So the only who really knows my thoughts is God It's crazy, I hold you in the highest regard But us having true love? What's the odds? That's scary, what if I get hit that hard So hard I can't get up, heart got lit up Too weak to move, can't eat, no sit up Mommy used to say – don't worry, it's just a hiccup But even she can't help When your heart's on fire, about to melt So everything I really feel, I keep it to myself So I don't end up hurt like everybody else Took love off the bat, burner put it on the shelf With the books I never read about pain I never felt Love is a problem, baby I need help My card's on the table and my heart's breaking me up Give me love I swear all I need is your heart (your heart) Oh baby Give me love Tell me where you need me to stop I swear all I need is your love It was the best of times, it was the worst of times When the last chapter's done, I hope your mine Yea (I need you to know) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times When the last chapter's done, I hope your mine But until that try Give me love I swear all I need is your heart (your heart) Oh baby Give me love Tell me where you need me to stop I swear all I need is your love Dear diary (dear diary) I hope she feels the same I hope she keeps loving me Keeps loving me as I'm loving While I'm learning to love her I pray our love won't change It's kinda hard Give me love
