Love Like Blood Lyrics

by John Hiatt

Take it easy, baby
But take as much as you can
'Cause I've got all the sweet lovin'
That you could possibly stand
I'll take your tears for drinking water
Make your pain sweet company
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
'Cause you mean that much to me

I could climb the highest mountain
Tell the world I could survive
But without your lovin', babe
I wouldn't even be alive

'Cause your love is like blood
I said your love is just like blood to me

Like a river, baby
Your love is running through me, yeah
And with every beat of our hearts
You see we're defying gravity
Well, just a little bit further on up the stream
There's a shady restin' place, uh-huh
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace

Now I could do a million things
I could find another man
But there's only one guy
Holds my life in his hands

And your love is like blood
Oh, your love is like blood
Yeah, your love is just like blood to me

I don't care what the people say
Over my dead body will they ever take you away
Any woman cuttin' in on me
Well, she just better stop
'Cause I can't spare a drop

Of your love is like blood
Oh, your love is like blood
Yeah, your love is just like blood to me

Can't you see the man is just my type
Without his love I would surely die
Well, your love is like blood to me

I can't live without your love, little girl
It's just like blood to me
I couldn't ever live without your love, little girl
It's just like blood to me

Your love is like blood
Your love is like blood
I said, your love is just like blood to me

Your love is like blood
Your love is like blood
Your love is like blood
Your love is like blood
