A Tear and a Smile (Album Version) - Me'Shell Ndegeocello

Written by：David Gamson/ME'SHELL NDEGEOCELLO

When we make love

When we make love

I feel it so deeply

When we make love I cry

When you kiss me my lips they burn with fear

For even a love that crowns may crucify

When we make love when we make love

Do you hear me can you taste my pain

For love has no other desire but to fulfill itself

But to deny yourself the pleasure of

That pain is to love selfishly

I would not exchange the sorrows

Of my heart for the joys of the multitude

And I would not have the tears

That sadness makes to flow from my

Every part turn into laughter

When we make love I feel it so deeply

When we make love I cry

I cry I cry

When you kiss me my lips they burn with fear

For even a love that crowns may crucify

When we make love

When we make love

When we make love

When we make love

I feel it so deeply

When we make

I feel it so deeply

Your heart lay captive in a cage fashioned

By your fears I stand there

Not knowing what to say

Yes so many lovers and yet

I alone love you far beyond any fairy tale

I would not exchange the sorrows

Of my heart for the joys of the multitude

And I would not have

The tears that sadness makes

To flow from my every part turn into laughter

When we make love I feel it so deeply

When we make love I cry

When you kiss me my lips they burn with fear

For your love and crowns make it far

In the cradle of creation

Between the hand of love after

And there you were

I was warmed amidst the gaze

Of your eyes our minds wounded

By the need for understanding

Our bodies betrayed by time

When we make love

When we make love I feel it so deeply

When we make love

When we make love

When we make love I feel it so

I feel it so deeply

When we make love

When we make love
