Arthur Russell – Words Of Love lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soft as a cherry, round as a peach
Into your pocket my slow hands can reach
To see what you carry, up close to your thighs
Reaching and looking right into your eyes

[Chorus]
But if I could convince you that these are words of love
The heartache would instantly remain
But the pain would be gone

[Verse 2]
I wish I could see what you got in your mind
That makes your eyes restless on all that they find
Don’t listen to me, I don’t know more than you
But I know that I want you but I don’t know what to do

[Chorus]
But if I could convince you that these are words of love
The heartache would instantly remain
But the pain would be gone

[Verse 3]
I’ve used all devices to get to your wit
I’ve tried every tool that I thought could maybe fit
But I see that there’s nothing my fingers can touch
To stroke your heart open, to feel very much

[Chorus]
But if I could convince you that these are words of love
The heartache would instantly remain
But the pain would be gone

[Verse 4]
You’re too sweet to worry, I always have thought
Never bothered to ask why I like you a lot
You move your hands slow up my back with your heart
But now we’re so close, yet feel so far apart

[Chorus]
But if I could convince you that these are words of love
The heartache would instantly remain
But the pain would be gone
