Is This Love? - Alison Moyet

These days what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters We're pickin' up the pieces, tryin' to put 'em back where they belong Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life These days it seems like there's three sides to every story There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights? We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life This is love, this is life This is love, this is life

You've got me so confused And there's words I could use but I'm afraid to say them I feel I've been had and I'm boiling mad Still, I can't live without you You don't have the time And you won't spend a dime Not even to call me Oh, you don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed If I had the nerve to quit you Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible You treat me like I'm not really there And you don't really care I know this romance, it ain't going nowhere Invisible (just like my love) You treat me like I'm invisible When you get the need to flirt you do your work You just don't care how much it hurts I can never reach you on the phone It rings and rings But I know you're home It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one yeah I tell myself lies to give you alibis Knowing your promises you'll never keep Like the merry-go-round, I'm going up going down I'm on a dead end street Invisible (just like my love) I feel like I'm invisible You treat me like I'm not really there And you don't really care I know this romance, it ain't going nowhere Although I know it's not a lot Don't want to lose whatever we got I keep hanging on knowing I can't win 'Cause it's too hard to start over again Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible You treat me like I'm not really there And you don't really care I know this romance, it ain't going nowhere Invisible (just like my love) You treat me like I'm invisible When you get the need to flirt you do your work You just don't care how much it hurts Invisible, (just like my love) I feel like I'm invisible You treat me like I'm not

Whose sticky hands are these And what is this empty place I could be happily lost But for your face Here stands an empty house That used to be full of life Now it's home for no one And his wife It's a hovel and (Who) Who can take your place I can't face another day And (Who) Who will shelter me It's cold in here Cover me Under these fingertips A strange body rolls and dips I close my eyes And you're here again Later as day descends I'll shout from my window To anyone listening I'm losing (Who) Who can take your place I can't face another day And (Who) Who will shelter me It's cold in here Cover me Oh, in a plague of hateful questioning Tap dancing every syllable from ear to ear I hear the din of lovers jousting When I'm hiding with my head to the wall So (Who) Who will shelter me It's cold in here.

In a fleeting moment of a restless day Driven to distraction I was captured by the game I have often wondered why I ever wanted to Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me As viciously as these I would not have believed you Had I never seen Now you and I are intimately pictured In my dreams I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away And if I live in wonderland I'm better off this way I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me As viciously as these Is this love?
