What does love really mean?

WHAT LOVE REALLY MEANS

words and music by Dave and JJ Heller

He cries in the corner where nobody sees 

He’s the kid with the story no one would believe 

He prays every night,

“Dear God won’t you please, 

Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me 

Not for what I have done or what I will become 

Who will love me for me 

‘Cause nobody has shown me what love 

What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day 

She’s the woman whose husband has run away 

She’ll go to the gym after working today 

Maybe if she was thinner 

Then he would’ve stayed And she says...

Who will love me for me 

Not for what I have done or what I will become 

Who will love me for me 

‘Cause nobody has shown me what love 

What love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone 

He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done 

He utters a cry from the depths of his soul 

“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside 

And it said, “I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied 

I have watched you suffer all of your life 

And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you 

Not for what you have done or what you will become 

I will love you for you I will give you the love 

The love that you never knew

She sits in the corner of the market each day

She's the girl with the parents who've run away

She'll go home and study after selling all day

Maybe if she was smarter, they would have stayed

And she wonders...

Who will love me for me

Not for what I have done

Or what I will become

Who will love me for me

Cause nobody has shown me what love

What love really means

What love really means...

Will you love her for her?
