Stronger Love

(Album: The Shouting Stage - 1988)

You won't let me
Meet all your friends
You say
It's for the best
But my instincts
I always follow
I believe
You're jealous
You use words
Like a weapon
You want to
Cut me down
Cut me down
Your affection
Leaves an emptiness
I need stronger love
Stronger love

I want
Stronger love
Don't want a union
Made of jealousy
Don't want
Clinging love
Just want somebody who will
Take care of me

You get possessive
And I get jumpy
I want it simple
I don't want no complication
You get possessive
And I get scared
I want

Stronger love
Don't want a union
Made of jealousy
Don't want
Clinging love
Just want somebody who will
Take care of me

You won't let me
Be by myself
You're scared
I won't think of you
But you're wrong
I think of you
All the while
Your charm is my prison
You smooth talk me
Into staying
But I don't want
This clinging love
I need a stronger love
Different love

I want
Stronger love
Don't want a union
Made of jealousy
Don't want
Clinging love
Just want somebody
Just want somebody

You don't have to
Fight me
To keep me here
By your side
Just be kind
I'll stay with you
All the while

I want
Stronger love
Don't want a union
Made of jealousy
Don't want
Clinging love
Just want somebody who will
Take care of me
Take care of me
Stronger love
Don't want a union
Made of jealousy

Don't want clinging love
Just want somebody
Who will take care of me
Take care of me
Take care of me
I want stronger love
