I was thinking about the time you were on the phoneWhen you told your mama you were sleeping all aloneI had my hands running slowly through your long blonde hairRed flags waving but I still don't careI was thinking about the time when I dropped you offAt your friend's house cause you had to get your stuffWhen I moved on over for a kiss goodbyeWell you left me high and drySo you can light me upOr you can burn me downFor the love, for the love that I have for youAnd turn it aroundSo you can tell me lessAnd I would still believeThat the love, oh the love that I have for youIs perfect for mePerfect for meOh the love, oh the love that I have for youIs perfect for meI was talking to your mama on the telephoneWhen she told me that she didn't know when you'd be homeCause you're outWith someone at a partyWhile I'm home writing songs about the heartacheI was thinking about the time when you missed your trainHad a friend pick you up to kick you out the rainWhen you both stayed out until the sunriseI knew something wasn't rightSo you can light me upOr you can burn me downFor the love, for the love that I have for youAnd turn it aroundSo you can tell me lessAnd I would still believeThat the love, oh the love that I have for youIs perfect for mePerfect for meOh the love, oh the love that I have for youIs perfect for mePerfect for meOh the love, oh the love that I have for youIs perfect for meFor meAnd so you can tell me liesI would still believeAnd the love of the love that I have for youIs perfect for me
