In The Name Of Love

Playin' games again I can feel the apprehension

For every word that leaves your mouth

Is swallowed by the tension

And if indeed it helps at all

I relate to what you're frightened of

'Cause so many things these days have been crushed

In the name of lo-o-ove

Actin' strong again as if you don't really need me

But the weakness that you once betrayed

Turned to be the strength that freed me

And I won't ask a thing of you

That you're not secure in giving of

'Cause so many things these days have been crushed

In the name of lo-ove

Now I know it's not that easy

When you don't know where you stand

At times I think I've never stood at all

Look around you'll see for every woman, child and man

Love has played it's games upon us all

Playin' roles again both actin' so defensive

As if some pre-programmed machine

Took over all our senses

I'd trade everything I own

For the thrill of fa-a-allin' in love

'Cause so many things these days have been saved

In the name - of lo-ove
