[Verse 1]

Love is just a word I have learned

I may use at my own expense

Bible study earned me the right

To be alone in my own defence

[Chorus]

Come to me, pretty, pull back my limbs

It's the oldest tradition known to my skin

I can be soft when I am disarmed

I can be just what you want

[Verse 2]

Love is just a word, love is just a word

Love is just a word

Don't say that you mean it

Come on, baby

We both know that that's absurd

(When you love me like this)

(When I can't move my lips)

[Chorus]

Come to me, pretty, hold back my arms

It's thе oldest tradition known to my heart

I can be soft whеn I am disarmed

I can be just what you want

[Bridge]

You want me soft

You and God, baby

Love me the best

When I’m laid to rest

And only my body is left

Is left

[Chorus]

Come to me, pretty, pull back my limbs

It's the oldest tradition known to my skin

I can be soft when I am disarmed

I can be just what you want
