A Cry for Love Lyrics by The Black Heart Procession

Amore del Tropico

2002

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Love, not our love (Do, you, hear, this, cry, for, love)
Love it isn't supposed to be this way (Do, you, see, this, cry, for, love)
Now love is a poison ring (Love, waits)
And love has poured you drinks (For)
Now love waits for you to sleep (You, to, sleep)
Don't you lend it to a friend (Don't, lend)
'Cause you may never see that friend again (It, to, a, friend)
But don't you bother with a cover 'Cause love can (You, can, easily)
(Easily, pick out the)
Pick out the fakes (Fakes)

[Refrain]
But that's not our love (Not our love)
Not our love (Not our love)
Not our love (Not our love)
This crime of love
Love

[Interlude]
(Do, you, see, this, cry, for, love)

[Verse 2]
Love, it isn't supposed to be this way (This, crime, of, love, holds, you, here)
Love will sting and love will burn (Sting, burn)
Love will steal all you've learned, yes it will (Steal, learn)
But not our love
Sometimes in your back (Don't, turn)
And sometimes in your heart, you'll never know (Your, back, on)
It's a double edged sword (My, heart)
Don't you bother with a cover (You, can, easily)
'Cause in a crowd love can
(Easily, pick out the)
Pick out the fakes (Fakes)

[Refrain]
But that's not our love (Not our love)
Not our love (Not our love)
Not our love (Not our love)
Not our love (Not our love)

[Outro]
Love
