Why does my love make you shift restless in your chair And leave you in despair It's simply love – my love for a woman It's a simple hand on a warm face to say A glance to see if love is still ok A glow at dawn when love is still there Tears and strong arms at the end of the day And simply love – my love for a woman It's the laughter as the kids clown And tease our weary thoughts away It's looking 'round the table And knowing hard work fed us one more day And simply love – my love for a woman Why does my love make you shift in your chair It's the bombs across the border That should make you tear your hair And yet it's my love leaves you screaming out your nightmare Perhaps you know there's something you should fear If my love makes me strong and makes you disappear It's simply love – my love for a woman
