U2 - Please (Single) lyrics

rate me

So you never knew love

Until you crossed the line of grace

And you never felt wanted

'Til you'd someone slap your face

And you never felt alive

'Til you'd almost wasted away

You had to win, you couldn't just pass

The smartest ass, 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 now

Please, please

Please leave it out

So you never knew

How low you'd stoop to make that call

And you never knew

What was on the ground until they made you crawl

So 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 now

Please, please

Please leave it out

'Cause love is big

And love is tough

But love is not

What you're thinking of

September, streets capsizing

Spilling over and down the drains

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?

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees now

Please

'Cause 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
