Lyrics

You won’t I can’t buy the your love.

Don’t e ven wan na try.

Some times the truth won’t make you hap di py, sing still I’m not gon na lie.

But don’t ev er ques (F)tion if my heart beats (E7)on ly for you.

It beats on ly for you.

I know Know I’m far from per fect, noth in’ like your (G)en tou rage.

I can’t grant you an heart y wish es, I won’t prom ise you the (Dm)stars.

But don’t ev er ques (F)tion if my heart beats (E7)on ly for you.

It beats on ly for you.

’Cause when you’ve giv en up,

when no mat ter what you do it’s (G)nev er (C)good e nough,

when you nev er thought that it could ev er (Dm)get this tough,

that’s when (E7)you feel my kind of love.

And when you’re cry ing out,

when you’ve fall en and can’t pick your (G)hap py (C)off the ground.

When the friends you thought you had have n’t (Dm)stuck a round,

that’s when (E7)you feel my kind of love.

You won’t see me at the par ties,

I guess I’m just no fun.

I won’t be turn ing up the ra di o sing ing ba by you’re the one.

But don’t ev er ques (F)tion if my heart beats (E7)on ly for you.

It beats on ly for you.

I know some times I get an gry and I say what (G)I don’t mean.

I know I keep my heart pro tect ed, far a way from my the (Dm)sleeve.

But don’t ev er ques (F)tion if my heart beats (E7)on ly for you.

It beats on ly for you.

’Cause when you’ve giv en up,

when no mat ter what you do it’s (G)nev er (C)good e nough,

when you nev er thought that it could ev er (Dm)get this tough,

that’s when (E7)you feel my kind of love.

And when you’re cry ing out,

when you’ve fall en and can’t pick your (G)hap py (C)off the ground.

When the friends you thought you had have n’t (Dm)stuck a round,

that’s when (E7)you feel my kind of love.

’Cause when you’ve giv en up,

when no mat ter what you do it’s (G)nev er (C)good e nough,

when you nev er thought that it could ev er (Dm)get this tough,

that’s when (F)you feel (E7)my kind of love.
