Mark Heard - All She Wanted Is Love lyrics

He tried to open her eyes to the big wide world He was teaching her feelings that can't be taught Between his art museums and his politics He left her somewhere in a tangled thought And when he calls she don't answer When he comes 'round she's not home She bears another kind of burden She's got a mind of her own Hey-all she wanted was love He could smother her days in word bouquets And genuine valentine rhetoric He could read her mind like a man*script And never notice her heart in-between the lines And when he calls she don't answer When he comes ‘round she's not home She bears another kind of burden She's got a life of her own Hey-all she wanted was love He would be holding her hand they would save the world Another sacrifice for another cause And another cause and a hundred more But a war's a war and a girl's a girl And when he calls she don't answer When he comes ‘round she's not home She bears another kind of burden She's got a soul of her own
