Love Me Back

Lovers come and lovers go
In your life
That’s ok usually
But not this time

I’ll tell you a secret you already know
You got to me
I let my guard down, said too much
And it cut right through me

There’s one thing you should know
You’re not allowed to go
You gotta love me back
Love me back
Love me back

Think of me as a wave of love
Cresting toward you
A tide that’s rising relentlessly
Upon your shoreline

I can see you kissing me
With my eyes closed
But I can’t imagine you turning away
No, you can’t leave me

There’s one thing you should know
You’re not allowed to go
You gotta love me back
Love me back
Love me back

I made up my mind and my heart agreed, you can’t leave me
You can’t deny what my heart has claimed as fact
You gotta love me back
Love me back
Love me back

What more can I say, what more can I do
I’m all about you
There’s nothing to lose so just turn around
And face the truth

There’s one thing you should know
You’re not allowed to go
You gotta love me back
Love me back
Love me back
Love me back
