Would You Fight For My Love?

  • It's not enough that I love you
    There's all these things I have to prove to you
    You use the sun to erase the past
    But you think it only erases for you

    Well I'm afraid of being hurt that's true
    But I'm not afraid of any physical pain
    Just as I am always scared of water
    But not afraid of standing out in the rain

    The last bosom in the room she hugged
    Was the bosom that the loved the most
    Nobody noticed I was down on the rug
    I'm getting better at becoming a ghost

    I know that you want more
    But would you fight for my love?
    In the heart that you bid for
    But can you ignore my love?

    No walking out my back door
    Looking back for my love
    I know that you want more
    But would you fight for my love?

    People do their best to not let passion begin
    It's dead before it has a chance to start
    And so there I am, the caretaker of sin
    To your abandoned and malignant heart

    It's such a blessing to sing with you together
    Making love when there is nobody home
    But I can't get you till you lift up your chin
    You have to want to start being alone

    I want you to fight for my love Writer/s: Jack White
