Dark Love Song

Dark Love Song - Jeffrey Gaines

Long long time ago

My mother told me

As far as she knows lovin' was only

For those who love themselves

And it ain't for no one else

And you've got to hold inside

A certain amount of pride

Long long way from home

Seems I've forgotten

All that I was told

And the heartache is starting

Cause those who love themselves

Aren't enslaved to no one else

And they don't have to compromise

And they don't have to cover their eyes

Seems I'm trapped

I can't break free

Cause without you who would I be

And I've rendered myself powerless

Is my need my cowardice

She's got bruises

But she wears them for love

He's got disease

But he bears it for love

I don't know what cupid was thinking of

So many of us just slaves for love

Long long chain of fools

And I'm in there somewhere

Cause love ain't got no rules

But somehow I still care

For those who love themselves

Even more than I care myself

And though you bring

Me pain and sorrow

I'll still be here tomorrow

Tomo-tomorrow

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

Seems I'm trapped

I can't break free

Cause without you who would I be

I've rendered myself powerless

Is my need my cowardice

She's got bruises

But she'll wear them for love

He's got a new disease

But he'll bear it for love

I don't know what cupid was thinking of

So many of us just slaves for love

Fools for love
