All She Wanted Was Love Lyrics by Mark Heard

Dry Bones Dance

0

[Verse 1]
He tried to open her eyes to the big wide world
He was teaching her feelings that can't be taught
Between his art museums and his politics
He left her somewhere in a tangled thought
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when he calls she don't answer
When he comes 'round she's not home
She bears another kind of burden
She's got a mind of her own
[Chorus]
Hey, all she wanted was love
Hey, all she wanted was
[Verse 2]
He could smother her days in word bouquets
And genuine valentine rhetoric
He could read her mind like a manuscript
And never notice her heart in-between the lines
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when he calls she don't answer
When he comes 'round she's not home
She bears another kind of burden
She's got a life of her own
[Chorus]
Hey, all she wanted was love
Hey, all she wanted was love
[Bridge]
Love
[Verse 3]
He would be holding her hand, they would save the world
Another sacrifice for another cause
And another cause and a hundred more
But a war's a war and a girl's a girl
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And when he calls she don't answer
When he comes 'round she's not home
She bears another kind of burden
She's got a soul of her own
[Chorus]
Hey, all she wanted was love
Hey, all she wanted was love
[Outro]
Hey, all she wanted was
Love
