I wanted a lover

To show me the way love goes

To know what it felt like

To let something take control

To live the expression

I'm head over heels this time

Unafraid to be open

And thinking I'd be just fine

But I found in the very end

That it all depends

'cause love can lift you so high

Or it'll leave you to die

And it's not like you ever get to choose

(Which way that it leads you)

Ooh it can play with your mind

Or make you feel so alive

Either way you'll survive 'cause

That's what love can do

Ohh, yeah yeah

That's what love can do

I guess now I get why

They say love is a dangerous game

'cause when you think that you're winning

You find out that you just been played

You give and you sacrifice

You make changes in your life

Everyone's got advice

But no one's got a clue (not even you)

And I found in the very end

That it all depends

'cause love can lift you so high

Or it'll leave you to die

And it's not like you ever get to choose

(Which way that it leads you)

Ooh it can play with your mind

Or make you feel so alive

Either way you'll survive 'cause

That's what love can do

Ooh, ohh, ooh

That's what love can do

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Dreaming of when I believed in

Fairy tales, sunset sails, it never fails

'til reality sets in

I begin to comprehend how crazy this has been

And I can't depend on

Anyone for my happily ever after

Yeah, yeah

'cause love can lift you so high

Or it'll leave you to die

And it's not like you ever get to choose

(Which way that it leads you)

Ooh it can play with your mind

Make you feel so alive

Either way you'll survive 'cause, ohh

That's what love can do

That's what love can do, ohh

'cause that's what love can do, ohh yeah

Ohh ooh, hey

It can tear you apart

And it's broken, broken my heart

That's what love can do

Ooh
