"A Love" lyrics - THE PRETENDERS

I'm not scared of you, I'm scared of me right here
I'm scared of taking stuff, I give up every year
I'm not scared of your dark eyes, they mesmerize and soothe
But I don't mess with burning coal or anything I can't control

[Chorus:]
A love to make the day go by like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult disappear with ease
A love like ones I've read about or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me, but never for too long

I'm not scared of your lovely mouth, it's your voice gets in the way
Saying ordinary things that float on air and stay
I look down at your fingers, imagine them entwined
In mine, and then I look away, afraid that I might find

[Chorus:]
A love to make the day go by like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult disappear with ease
A love like ones I've read about or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me, but never for too long

I'm not scared of you, I'm scared of what could be
Like certain drugs, one taste and then you're never free
To wake up every morning, only one thing on my mind
To satisfy a hole I'm pretty sure I'll never find

[Chorus:]
A love to make the day go by like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult disappear with ease
A love like ones I've read about or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me, but never for too long
