Michelle Shocked - Love's Song Lyrics

When I was young I got it all wrong
I thought, I thought love was a key
I picked the lock, I forgot to knock
I walked it off and baby, I was free

Love's song lingers on the lips of other singers
They play it every opportunity
They play love's song for you
Yes, and any other fool but you know that
Love's song was never in my key

A short time ago, well, wouldn't you know
Came the strain of some old melody
Singing soft and low, sentimental and slow
Now somehow I know love's song is singing me

Love's song lingers on the lips of other singers
You don't have to pay 'em, they'll play 'em all for free
They'll play love's song for you, any love song will do
But you know that love's song was never in my key

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

Love's song lingers on the lips of other singers
But love's song was never in my key
Just goes to show how wrong I could be
Now somehow I know love's song is singing me

Hey, hey, yeah

Love's song lingers on the lips of other singers
But love's song was never in my key
Just goes to show how wrong I could be
Now somehow I know love's song is singing me
