When Love Calls
When love calls what does she say
What are the words in the song you play
Is it sex or something more
Does love appeal or just a whore
For some it’s minstrels and wine
But will you really be a friend of mine
Is it love that is bought and sold
Or would you give everything for my heart to hold
Is love a trophy for your friends to impress
Or a way of control, a form of duress
Do you believe you can find a soulmate
Or are we too jaded, have we left it too late
Could we be friends, laughing together and really having fun
Can we splash in the waves and run down the beach in the setting sun
If I gave you my trust would you keep it
If I gave you my word would you believe it
Could you take me to heaven
Not as a conquest but at your side
Could you be open with me
Feeling safe not to hide
Could you give me the space to be free
While holding me in your arms endlessly
When love calls what does she say
What are the words in the song you play
Is it sex or something more
Does love appeal or just a whore
For some it’s minstrels and wine
But will you really be a friend of mine
Is it love that is bought and sold
Or would you give everything for my heart to hold
Is love a trophy for your friends to impress
Or a way of control, a form of duress
Do you believe you can find a soulmate
Or are we too jaded, have we left it too late
Could we be friends, laughing together and really having fun
Can we splash in the waves and run down the beach in the setting sun
If I gave you my trust would you keep it
If I gave you my word would you believe it
Could you take me to heaven
Not as a conquest but at your side
Could you be open with me
Feeling safe not to hide
Could you give me the space to be free
While holding me in your arms endlessly
