You can have my love
As long as I can tell you what to do
If you know what I need
You'll use it against me
Yes it’s sad enough
There just ain't enough love in the world
If you want some from me
I'll need some context

I’ve been learning about
Psychology, sociology, and the rest
Now I can't rest
'Cause everyone reeks of power trips
Where do I fit in your power trip?
Let's see if your analysis favors me
I mean otherwise why would I listen

To others
Also
Protecting
Their baby
Some
In need of
Undoing
And real
Love
From someone who lets me see they need mine
Without the pre-condition they be like me
Like we
Don't all
Just need
Love

Okay, so you're really just gonna say it straight out like that?
That we all need love

The promise of
The knowledge of
The promise of
The knowledge of
The soothing arms

Well it's chemical
Really group survival in the wild
Is the history of instinctual nurture
So the feeling of needing to be loved is nothing more
Than our primitive brains responding to stress

I've been learning about
Psychology, neurobiology, and the rest
Now I can’t rest
’Cause everything reeks of basic needs
How do I get all my basic needs met?
What?
D– do I really have to just– come out and say it?
Just straight up? That I do need

Love, the promise of, love
Love, the knowledge of, of love
Love, the soothing arms, love
Love, the promise of, of love
Love, the knowledge of, love
Love, the soothing arms, of love
Love
Love
Love
Love
