basics (bare minimum) Lyrics

You treat her like a prize to be won, not a heart to be held

Like a shiny new toy

You refuse her of joy

She deserves so much more than she's getting

So give her much more than you're giving

Why's love not the bare minimum?

Why must they expect less from us?

What ever happened to the basics?

The basics of love:

Kiss her when she's feeling low

Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled

Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms

Make love the bare minimum

Make her expect more from you

And bring back the basics

The basics of love

Why can't you see she's a star?

There's a shine in her heart

She'll change the world if you let her

And she should change the world, why won't you let her?

Why's love not the bare minimum?

Why must they expect less from us?

What ever happened to the basics?

The basics of love:

Kiss her when she's feeling low

Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled

Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms

Make love the bare minimum

Make her expect more from you

And bring back the basics

The basics of love

What's our world come down to?

All you care about is you

Let's fix this mess

Fix our world

And show we care about her

Why's love not the bare minimum?

Why must they expect less from us?

What ever happened to the basics?

The basics of love:

Kiss her when she's feeling low

Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled

Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms

Make love the bare minimum

Make her expect more from you

And bring back the basics

The basics of love
