Analysis of Love
Gina Henry 1967 (U S)
I feel like writing....
He's my water
when I'm thirsty
He's my love
from the first day
I love the way
he makes me feel
this is real
I can't imagine
living without his love
I feel this was sent from above
I can be beside him and pass out
Safe and secure
Feeling no fear
A relationship like this is rare
And he has nerve to ask me if I care
If I tell him how I really feel
Funny cause I can't
Been through so much
I feel it would be a done deal
Love lost
Time wasted
The house we built
Evacuated
Living in a time
Where love isn't worth a dime
