Album:

Fearless Love

She's got her sweet children 
She's got her home she's got some land 
Her earthly possessions 
She's got a ring upon her hand 
She tried to be a good girl 
She tried to make everything right 
She tried to kill the voices 
That haunt her each and every night 


She looks up to heaven 
And wonders why love is so cruel 
She loves him won't hurt him 
Can't stop the wanting of you 


She married in high school 
Oldest was well upon her way 
But that wild night Chicago 
It's left a mark she can't erase 
A phase you'll just get over 
That's what her friends have always said 


You dip your toes in water 
She's in way over her head 


She looks up to heaven 
And wonders why love is so cruel 
She loves him won't hurt him 
Can't stop the wanting of you 


Keeping her desire paralyzed 
She catches in the corner of her eyes 
Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs 
How the hell's this ache ever gonna die 
And we make our choices 
Doing what wee think is good 
We deny our own dreams 
'Cause we think we've been told we should 
We think we've been told we should 


She looks up to heaven 
And wonders why love is so cruel 
She loves him won't hurt him 
Can't stop the wanting of you
