The notion of love

Intro

Ah love you are elusive.

You dance like a butterfly.

So beautiful to behold.

And yet you pass us by.

Verse

We place you on a pedestal.

Hold you in high esteem.

We’re forever disappointed

That you’re not all we dreamed.

Chorus

We love the notion of love

More than love itself.

Verse

We chase you like you’re a mirage

Teasing our thirsty soul.

Hope it’s at the end of the rainbow.

Only to find fool’s gold.

Chorus

We love the notion of love

More than love itself.

Verse

We think we will find perfection.

Find a flaw or mistake.

We’re totally disappointed

To find you’re not so great.

Chorus

We love the notion of love

More than love itself.

Bridge

Maybe we’re expecting perfection.

On reflection I know we do.

Maybe we’re crazy, maybe we’re fools.

For hoping our dreams will come true.

Verse

We place you on a pedestal.

Hold you in high esteem.

We’re forever disappointed

That you’re not all we dreamed.

Chorus

We love the notion of love

More than love itself.
