Tanita Tikaram - Only The Ones We Love lyrics

rate me

Oh, you can't say nothing to the pouring rain

And you can't say nothing till there's hope

Again -

(Say) - oh my baby - you must never change

For we're only the ones we love

And I've stood stolen by the pauper's heart

Yes, I've stood stolen where the aching starts

But the way you watched - it's a life apart

For we're only the ones we love

Only

Only

You're the only one who could say

I could love this way

I could love this way

Oh, you can't get even with this kind of pain

But to see you steady brings the calm, again

(Say) - oh my baby - let them stay the same

For we're only the ones we love

And they've seen something which I'll never see

But - I dreamed something when you fell for me

(Yeah), I dreamed something which soars above

For we're only the ones we love

Only the ones we love

Yes, love, and love, mmm, mmm

This love, love

Oh, I get tired - and I get old

But to see you steady brings a flood of gold

(Say, oh, my baby) - I've been taught and told

We're only the ones we love

Only the ones we love

Love, love, mmm, mmm

This love, mmmm, mmm
