"Bottle It Up"

There'll be girls across the nation that will eat this up

Babe, I know that it's your soul, but could you bottle it up?

Get down to the heart of it

No, it's my heart

You're shit out of your luck

Don't make me tell you again, my love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts

With her delicate soul, I don't claim to know much

Except, soon as you start to make room for the parts

That aren't you, it gets harder

To bloom in a garden of love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Only thing I ever could need

Only one good thing worth trying to be

And it's love, love, love, love

I do it for love, love, love, love

We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us

Oh, but sensible sells, so could you kindly shut up?

And get started at keeping your part of the bargain

Aw, please, little darlin'

You're killing me sweetly with love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Only thing I ever could need

Only one good thing worth trying to be

And it's love, love, love, love

I do it for love, love, love, love

Started as a flicker meant to be a flame

Skin has gotten thicker, but it burns the same

Still a baby in a cradle, got to take my first fall

Baby's getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall

You meant to make me happy, make me sad

Want to make it better, better so bad

But save your resolutions for your never new year

There is only one solution I can see here

Love, you're all I ever could need

Only one good thing worth trying to be, and it's love

Love, love, love

I do it for love, love, love, love

Oh, only gonna get, get what you give away

So give love, love

Only gonna get, get what you give away

Love
