"Love You Like I Should" lyrics

And I love you like I should
You can take it for granted
You can still be very romantic
When you're sure of the love you have
And no gift is ideal
But then why should it be
You were born desperate to give
So you go find a Jesus

Or you're desperate to be clever
So you spend your time alone a lot
Convincing yourself
Or preaching, "This is how you should live"
And all the while lying, to your given self
For the sake of survival
The sake of mere survival

And I love you like I should
I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should
I love you like I should
I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should

And the more you open up
And the more that I learn
I am in no position, to make a moral decision
And the powers that would be
Can't touch the freedom in me
'Cause the power that is, was ours all along

I love you like I should
I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should
Hey
Hey

I love you like I should
I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should
I love you like I should
I love you like I should
Don't make a rule you never could
And I love you like I should, hey!

Like I should
Just like I should (just like I should)
Just like I should, yeah (just like I should, yeah)
Ah-ooh (ah-ooh)
And don't you forget it (and don't you forget it)
(And don't you forget it)
(And don't you forget it)
(And don't you forget it)
(And don't you forget it)
