John Hiatt – What Love Can Do lyrics

We were always happiest
When we needed the least
Who knew this love
Would turn in
To such a feast
Breakfast, lunch,
And dinner,
And a midnight snack
I'm full to the brim,
But I keep comin' back
You take your tiara babe,
I'll take my crown
Come on honey,
Let's go downtown
Trade 'em
In on pauper's rags
And some worn out shoes
Count on the kindness
Of strangers,
That's what love can do

That's what love can do
Make you feel brand new
That's what love can do
Lose someone
You thought was you
That's what love can do
Fire your heart
And burn clean through
That's what love can do

It's like we've laid
In this river bed
For a couple o' million years
Shaped by the waters
'Till we've nearly disappeared
Two little grains of sand
Locked in the eternal kiss
Don't wake me up now,
There's somethin'
That I might miss

That's what love can do
Make you feel brand new
That's what love can do
Lose someone
You thought was you
That's what love can do
Fire your heart
And burn clean through
That's what love can do

You dream a dream
Then the dream comes true
Can you imagine
What love can do?
You're alone
In the coffee shop
And then she's by your side
Love picks up the tab
And you're both having pie

That's what love can do
Make you feel brand new
That's what love can do
Lose someone
You thought was you
That's what love can do
Fire your heart
And burn clean through
That's what love can do

That's what love can do
Make you feel brand new
That's what love can do
Lose someone
You thought was you
That's what love can do
Fire your heart
And burn clean through
That's what love can do
