i want love but it’s impossible
a man like me’s so irresponsible
a man like me is dead in places
other men feel liberated

and i can’t love shot full of holes
don’t feel nothing i just feel cold
don’t feel nothing just old scars
toughening up around my heart

but i want love
just a different kind
i want love
won’t break me down
won’t brick me up
won’t fence me in
i want a love
that don’t mean a thing
that’s the love i want
i want love

i want love on my own terms
after everything i’ve ever learned
me i carry too much baggage
oh, man i’ve seen so much traffic

but i want love
just a different kind
i want love
won’t break me down
won’t brick me up
won’t fence me in
i want a love
that don’t mean a thing
that’s the love i want
i want love

so bring it on i’ve been bruised
don’t give me love that’s clean and smooth
i’m ready for the rougher stuff
no sweet romance, i’ve had enough

a man like me’s dead in places
other men feel liberated

but i want love
just a different kind
i want love
won’t break me down
won’t brick me up
won’t fence me in
i want a love
that don’t mean a thing
that’s the love i want
i want love

i want love
just a different kind
i want love
won’t break me down
won’t brick me up
won’t fence me in
i want a love
that don’t mean a thing
that’s the love i want
i want love
