watered-down love

love that's pure hopes all things

believes all things

won't pull no strings

won't sneak up into your room

tall

dark and handsome

capture your heart and hold it for ransom

you don't want a love that's pure

you wanna drown love

you want a watered-down love

love that's pure

it don't make no false claims

intercedes for you 'stead of casting you blame

will not deceive you or lead you into transgression

won't write it up and make you sign a false confession

you don't want a love that's pure

you wanna drown love

you want a watered-down love

love that's pure won't lead you astray

won't hold you back

won't mess up your day

won't pervert you

corrupt you with stupid wishes

it don't make you envious

it don't make you suspicious

you don't want a love that's pure

you wanna drown love

you want a watered-down love

love that's pure ain't no accident

always on time

is always content

an eternal flame

quietly burning

never needs to be proud

restlessly yearning

you don't want a love that's pure

you wanna drown love

you want a watered-down love
