Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t need perfection, baby, I need effort I can feel,
Need your actions in the daylight matching bedroom promises.
Bring me flowers for no reason, kiss my forehead when I’m tired,
Still pull my dress above my hips and remind me I’m desired.
Talk to me when you’re frustrated; don’t disappear for days.
Tell me when I hurt you without throwing blame my way.
I can be your safest place and your sweetest fantasy,
But loving me requires more than wanting access to my body.

[Chorus]
Love me better, love me deep,
Give me something strong enough to keep me soft and weak.
Make me feel protected when I’m naked in your arms,
Not just from the outside world, but from your careless harm.
Love me tender, love me rough,
But when the heat is over, make the honesty enough.
I don’t need another lover who only knows my skin.
Love me better from the outside to within.

[Verse 2]
Let’s stop keeping score of every wrong we ever made,
Stop inviting old mistakes into the bed where passion stays.
When I tell you what I need, don’t hear it as attack.
I’m giving you directions to the love I want us to have.
I’ll give you my attention, loyalty and grown-woman heat,
Make you forget every temptation waiting in the street.
But I expect the same devotion when another woman calls.
A relationship stays standing when we both protect the walls.

[Bridge]
Healthy doesn’t mean the fire has to disappear.
We can keep it hot and still make loyalty feel clear.
Romance can have discipline; passion can be true.
I want all of my loving safely placed inside of you.

[Final Chorus]
Love me better, love me deep,
Give me something strong enough to let my spirit sleep.
Make me feel protected when I’m shaking in your arms,
Not just from the outside world, but from your careless harm.
Love me tender, love me grown,
Make me feel like your desire and your peaceful home.
I don’t need another lover who only knows my skin.
Love me better, and I’ll let you all the way in.
