[Verse 1]
Love is just a word I have learned
I may use at my own expense
Bible study earned me the right
To be alone in my own defence

[Chorus]
Come to me, pretty, pull back my limbs
It's the oldest tradition known to my skin
I can be soft when I am disarmed
I can be just what you want

[Verse 2]
Love is just a word, love is just a word
Love is just a word
Don't say that you mean it
Come on, baby
We both know that that's absurd
(When you love me like this)
(When I can't move my lips)

[Chorus]
Come to me, pretty, hold back my arms
It's thе oldest tradition known to my heart
I can be soft whеn I am disarmed
I can be just what you want
[Bridge]
You want me soft
You and God, baby
Love me the best
When I’m laid to rest
And only my body is left
Is left

[Chorus]
Come to me, pretty, pull back my limbs
It's the oldest tradition known to my skin
I can be soft when I am disarmed
I can be just what you want
