[Verse]
Pure emotion is signing up for service
Just to get some revenge on the world
Pure emotion don’t make no anniversaries
Only as fresh wound to nurse

[Pre-Chorus]
Now don’t you make me, make me, make me
Pay for a feeling just to sell at a loss

[Chorus]
I try not to forget
Pure emotion
Is not safe

[Verse]
Ooh if your love is like an empire, baby
I'll wait for your ships to come home
And if your heart is like a kingdom, honey
I'll wait for the walls to come down

[Pre-Chorus]
I want a chance to say I told you so
That pure emotion taking, taking hold

[Chorus]
I try not to forget
Pure emotion
Is not safe in our hands
Pure emotion
Is not safe in our hands

I try not to forget
Pure emotion
Is not safe in our hands
Pure emotion
Is not safe in our hands
Pure emotion
Is not safe in our hands
