Can U give me true love?
Do U know what love is?
Can U give me true love?
U're hidin' from yourself
Can U give me true love?
Do U know what love is?
Can U give me true love?
4 someone who's never lost 4 words
U're quiet now, how can that be? (How can that be?)
Just because I wanna know your heart
Tell me now, is that selfish of me? (Is that selfish of me?)
CHORUS:
Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
I see what U want me 2 see
The more I get closer 2 U
The farther U get from me
Introduce me 2 your demons
I won't let them hurt U, no no no
Trust me I'll be here and all the pain I'll undo
All the planets say I'm supposed 2 be with U
CHORUS
Can U give me true love?
So much sadness in the world
We need solace 2 get by
Real peace is no result of wealth
U've got 2 know your inner-self
Nothing's lost if we don't try
Don't U wanna?
Don't U wanna? (Try)
Don't U wanna try?
And I've waited 4 so long
7 years and I'm still holding on
So much love we're missin'
A million tender kisses
But U won't let it be (Let it be)
Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
I see what U want me 2 see (See what U want me 2 see)
The more I want U closer
The farther U get from me (Farther, farther, farther away from me)
My love is soaring on the clouds that eagles fly
My love is watching where an angel kisses souls good-bye
My love is waiting where the sands of time and oceans kiss the shore
Wherever U are my love is now and forever more
Do U know what love is? (Do U know what love is?)
Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh {x2}
Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
The more I get closer 2 U
The farther U get from me
