Love You Like I Should

And I love you like I should
You can take it for granted
You can still be very romantic
When you're sure of the love you have
And no gift is ideal - but then why should it be
You were born desperate to give
So you go find a Jesus
Or you're desperate to be clever
So you spend your time alone a lot
Convincing yourself - or preaching 'this is how you should live'
And all the while lying to your given self
For the sake of survival - the sake of mere survival
And I love you like I should
And I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should
And I love you like I should
And I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should
And the more you open up
And the more that I learn
I am in no position to make a moral decision
And the powers-that-would-be
Can't touch the freedom in me
'Cause the power that is was ours all along.
I love you like I should....and don't you forget it!
