This Is What You Get When You Mess With Love Lyrics

She's in my bed again

I promised myself she wouldn't be

But she was alone and needed someone

So I let her come and confide in me

And when morning comes

She just leaves me all on my own

With a bitter taste of

Something that I can never have

I just want to show

That I am for real

I want you to know

Just how I feel

How we could be

Dancing slow cheek to cheek

I pull you so close to feel each breath that you take

So you're back for another night

Don't you know that I'm down for life?

They say true love waits for those

Who believe with open hearts

I want to believe it

I'm down on my knees and

I want to know how true love feels

I just want to show

That I am for real

I want you to know

Just how I feel

I just need to know

If this is for real

I just want to know

How true love feels

How true love feels

You

You are my lover

We hide under the covers

And leave this cruel cruel world outside

You

You offer me affection

I offer you protection

From the world outside

You

You give my life a meaning

I give your life a reason

For forever and tonight

I lost myself believing in love

And you lost yourself in too much hurt

We lost our selves

Is this love?

Is this what you need?

Is this what I want?

Is this what you get when you mess with love?
