音乐咖啡厅:Michelle Branch - I'd Rather Be In love

I cannot help it'
I couldn't stop it if I tried'
the same old heart² beat³ fills⁴ the emptiness I have inside⁵'
and I've heard that you can't fight⁶ love so I won't complain⁷
Cause⁸ why would⁹ I stop the fire that keeps me going¹⁰ on.
Cause when there's you'
I feel whole¹¹'
and there's no better feeling¹² in the world'
but without you'
I'm alone¹³'
and I'd rather¹⁴ be in love'
with you.
Turn out the lights now'
to see is to believe¹⁵'
I just want you near me'
I just want you here with me'
and I'd give up everything only for you'
it's the least¹⁶ that I could¹ do.
Cause when there's you'
I feel whole'
and there's no better feeling in the world'
but without you'
I'm alone'
and I'd rather be in love'
with you.
And I feel you holding me.
Why are we afraid to be in love'
to be loved'
I can't explain¹⁷ it'
I know it's tough¹⁸' to be loved.
And I feel you holding me.
Cause when there's you'
I feel whole'
I feel whole'
and there's no better feeling in the world'
but without you'
I'm alone'
and I'd rather be in love'
Cause when there's you'
I feel whole'
and there's no better feeling in the world'
and there's no better feeling in the world'
I'm alone'
and I'd rather be in love'
