A Good Old Fashioned Love Song

I'm a girl, so of course I listen to the lyrics of songs. Sometimes I get really annoyed at love songs, particularly country love songs, as they make you feel so bad about yourself. Those country singers really love madly truly deeply. Whoever those girls are making men proclaim such adoration and devotion must be pretty fabulous. 

But, I've found a song I like (not country) and thought I'd share. Seems honest. Like, "Hey, we're both messed up in some way, but you're enough for me." Real. I'm sure this is what Spencer plays for Heidi before they go to bed at night. But I do hope some of you out there have something like this. Nothing like a cheesy send off for the weekend...

She Is Love (Parachute)
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around, 
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days, 
But she makes me want to believe.

They call her love, love, love, love, love. 
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.

She's all I need.

Well I had my ways, they were all in vain, 
But she waited patiently.
It was all the same, all my pride and shame, 
And she put me on my feet.

They call her love, love, love, love, love. 
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need. 

And when that world slows down, dear.
And when those stars burn out, here.
Oh she'll be there, yes she'll be there, 
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love. love.

She is love, and she is all I need, 
She is love, and she is all I need, 
She is love, and she is all I need.
