  • I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try.
    Sometimes the truth won't make you happy, still I'm not gonna lie.
    But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you.

    I know I'm far from perfect, nothin' like your entourage
    I can't grant you any wishes, I won't promise you the stars.
    But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you.

    'Cause when you've given up.
    When no matter what you do it's never good enough.
    When you never thought that it could ever get this tough,
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    And when you're crying out.
    When you fall and then can't pick your happy off the ground
    When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around.
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    You won't see me at the parties, I guess I'm just no fun.
    I won't be turning up the radio singing, "Baby You're The One."
    But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you.

    I know sometimes I get angry, and I say what I don't mean.
    I know I keep my heart protected, far away from my sleeve.
    But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you.

    'Cause when you've given up.
    When no matter what you do it's never good enough.
    When you never thought that it could ever get this tough,
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    And when you're crying out.
    When you've fallen and can't pick your happy off the ground
    When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around.
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    That's when you feel
    That's when you feel
    That's when you feel, my kind of love

    Just when you've given up.
    When no matter what you do it's never good enough.
    When you never thought that it could ever get this tough,
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    And when you're crying out.
    When you've fallen and can't pick your happy off the ground
    When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around.
    That's when you feel my kind of love.

    I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try.
    Sometimes the truth won't make you happy, still I'm not gonna lie.
    But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you. Writer/s: DANIEL TANNENBAUM, EMELI SANDE, EMILE HAYNIE
