you love me back

we're gasoline and fire

a blessing and a curse

if you wrote us down on paper

you'd swear we'd never work

you'd swear we'd never work

you're nothing like i dreamed

oh and everything i need

in a crazy world

coming all apart

you're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

when there's no one left telling me the truth

and i feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

when i'm way off track

when i hurt like that

you love me back

like a magical oasis

i could drink until i drowned

you're the answer to a question when no answers can be found

you turn it all around

you take away my shame

and love me through the pain

in a crazy world

coming all apart

you're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

when there's no one left telling me the truth

and i feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

when i'm way off track

when i hurt like that

you love me back

you love me back

you make it all make sense

you take this man

when i don't think i can

and make me all right again

in a crazy world

coming all apart

you're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

when there's no one left telling me the truth

and i feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

when i'm way off track

when i hurt like that

you love me back.
