The State of Love

Boys in the street, playing stick ball
The noise and beats coming from their jambox is
Distorted plenty and curling my hair
I still hear your voice coming through clear

Baby needs changing, a nap overdue
Crying for something and all I want to do is
Embrace my guitar and your symphony
And imagine that you're here singing with me

And I don't care who you're loving tonight
I've been loving you all of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from

Love you like a brother, among many things
But I don't need your promise or wedding ring
Though I can't resist temptation it's true
Maybe you notice the way I look at you

But I don't need your loving tonight
'cause I'll be loving you for the rest of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from

And I don't care who you're loving tonight
I've been loving you all of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from

No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from
The state of love I'm coming from.....
