THAT’S ALL
c Linda Worster 1978
I don’t care what it was you did.
It’s time you were unlocking all the feelings that you hid
Don’t be afraid of a you that will show
Just let it flow. Let it go
I don’t love you just because you’re nice to me
I don’t love you only when you smile
And I don’t love you just because of all the beautiful things that you do
I just love you
I just love you because you are you
That’s all. Just because you are you.
I know how it feels to be tired and confused
It’s living and dying
and you have to choose
And sometimes it seems like there’s no difference between the two
Oh but I don’t love you only when you’re not afraid
I don’t love you just because I should
And I don’t love you just because sometimes you make me feel so good
I just love you
I just love you because you are you
That’s all. Just because you are you.
It’s ok if we’re angry or hurt
But hanging on to those feelings only makes them worse
We could have loved ourselves and turned it to hate
But everyone has their share of mistakes
I don’t love you only when you’re right
I don’t hate you when you’re wrong
And I don’t love you only when you’re feeling strong… it’s true
I just love you
I just love you because you are you
That’s all. Just because you are you.
