Esperanza Spalding - Unconditional Love (Alternate Version) lyrics

[Chorus] We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired No more acting these predictable roles Just us living Unconditional love [Verse 1] Faded clichés and makeup Dancing and singing; scripted delight Every act ends in breakup That same old boring story I played too many nights The curtain ends up falling Then arrows strike my heart Oh, but oh If some realness should find me Like the magic in your eyes, oh If your eyes would invite me, oh [Chorus] We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired No more acting these predictable roles Just us living Unconditional love [Verse 2] For my finale, waiting Off in the wings to sing the last song And when we're done pretending Throw me a white bouquet Oh I, close the curtain behind me And enclose me in your arms, oh If your arms would invite me, oh [Chorus] (x2) We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired No more acting these predictable roles Just us living Unconditional love We'd see a real love start unfolding La, la la (Instrumental) [Outro] We could change the whole story of love, and Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us... living We could change the whole story of love Boring play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living, unconditional love Woah, the whole story of love's a Boring play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living Unconditional Love
