"Love Me Instead" lyrics

This passion in this room is almost haunting
Your body's so sweet and so taunting
This bed's never felt nothing like this
Oh, and neither have I, neither have I
You say don't close your eyes and just lay here
But I just hold you close and sleep here
And don't worry now like I did then
Just lay here with me, don't let this night end

'Cause I don't need fancy hair, makeup or clothes
And I don't need to know the stuff nobody knows
And I don't need the lights in this room, or sorrows overhead
And I don't need to know what's laying under the bed
I just need to know
Would you love me instead? Would you love me instead?

We say goodnight 100 times
But we never go to sleep
And I never thought that you and me
Oh, we'd ever be
You run your fingers through my hair
So soft, so sweet
And as I kiss you goodnight for the 100th time
I know you're just what I need

'Cause I don't need fancy hair, makeup or clothes
And I don't need to know the stuff nobody knows
And I don't need the lights in this room, or sorrows overhead
And I don't need to know what's laying under the bed
I just need to know
Would you love me instead?

Instead of hate, instead of pride
Instead of what's on your mind tonight
Instead of then or what could've been
Just don't let it change with time
Don't let our love change with time

'Cause I don't need fancy hair, makeup or clothes
And I don't need to know the stuff nobody knows
And I don't need the lights in this room, or sorrows overhead
And I don't need to know what's laying under the bed
I just need to know
Would you love me instead? Would you love me instead?
