Love Song

Write me a love song 

and I will be yours.

My heart has its price-

Just one little song

and I will be sold for a ditty,

and with your crooning I will swoon

for your voice is the tune to which my heart beats.

Just a few words,

and a melody are all you will need

to claim me as yours.

My heart has its price-

Just one little song

that sings about the truth 

of what love really is.

My heart can't be sold to just anyone

for it takes more than a song

to make my dead heart swoon;

Your voice will have to jump start it.

For my heart lost its tune and now it
 is just a muscle inside my chest

that beats a rhythm to keep me alive.

The truth is that love is just 

something we sing about
but never actually experience.
