Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Unselfish Love" lyrics


I've got a woman, and she's so good to meShe broke into my heart, and she still holds the keyShe's the only one I know, who ever really gave to meUnselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love.
I used to run around so fancy freeBut all those crazy nights just drained my energyWell I was thinking only of myself, like a fool I could not seeHer unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love.
Now everybody wants to share real love and understandingLife without it can seem tragicBut when there is someone you loveAnd they give you real love in returnWell you know life can be magic.
She can turn my whole world upside down (up, down, and around)She's the one who keeps my feet on solid groundI never knew just what I had before but now I know I've foundUnselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah)
Now everybody wants to share real love and understandingLife without it can seem tragicBut when there is someone you loveAnd they give you real love in returnWell you know life can be magic.
When I'm feeling low down negative (still runnin' away)And I know I've got to change the way I liveShe just shakes her head and wondersIf I'll ever learn to giveUnselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah)
Unselfish love(I've got a woman and she's so good to me)(yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key)(when I'm feeling low down negative from the way I live)She gives me reason (she just shakes her head and wonders if I'll ever learn to give)Unselfish love (I've got a woman and she's so good to me)She never worries (yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key)
