Unconditional Love - Esperanza Spalding

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding

Faded cliches and makeup

Dancing and singing, scripted delight

Every act ends in break-up

That same old boring story I’ve played too many nights

The curtain and I fall when

Fake arrows strike my heart

Oh but oh, if some magic should find me

Like the magic in our eyes, oh

If your eyes would invite me, oh

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding

Be my finale, waiting

Off in the wings to sing the last song

And when we’re done pretending

Throw me a white bouquet

Oh I’d close the curtain behind me

And enclose me in your arms, oh

If your arms would invite me, oh

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding

We could change the whole story of love

Same old play I’m getting tired of

No more acting these predictable roles

Just us living unconditional love

And we’d be real love

And see a real love story unfolding
