U2 - Please
from the album "Pop"
So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted 'Til you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive until you'd almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest a##
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please...please...please...Get up off your knees...Please...please...leave
me out of this
Please
And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground 'til they made you crawl
And you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
Your catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car
Please...please...please...Get up off your knees...Please...please...Leave
me out of this
please
So love is hard and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of
September...Streets capsizing...Spilling over, Down the drain
Shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own
pain...
October...Talk getting nowhere...November...December...Remember...
Are we just starting again...?
So love is big is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you my love I could never believe
