NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND - Don't Underestimate Love lyrics

rate me

Baby it's no mystery

You don't have to tell me

What you're doing here

With all the stars in your blue eyes

Washed away by disappointed tears

You say another love has left you

Feeling sad and insecure

You'd like to think that it's all worth it

But now you're not so sure

Baby just because it's painful

It doesn't mean it's real

Sometimes we're simply desperate

For something to feel, uh-huh

Don't underestimate love

It's the same old bedtime story

The same old dreams of glory

We all hold on to

It's all so beautifully tragic

So painfully romantic

But so far from the truth

Baby I could slay your dragons

But I'd rather set them free

All I'm really asking is a chance to make you see

There doesn't have to be a struggle

There doesn't have to be a fight

Before you taste the victory

Before you feel it's right, uh-huh

Don't underestimate love

Oh we all look for love in our lives

But sometimes all you've gotta do is just open up your eyes

But does there have to be a reason

Or does there have to be a storm

Before we we look for shelter in each others arms

Baby leave behind this madness

I'll give you tenderness

I don't wanna see you have to settle for less, uh-huh

Don't underestimate love

Don't underestimate love
