Back Of Love lyrics

I'm on the chopping block

Chopping off my stopping thought

Self doubt and selfism

Were the cheapest things I ever bought

When you say it's love

Do you mean the back of love

When you say it's love

Do you mean the back of love?

We're taking advantage of

Breaking the back of love

We're taking advantage of

Breaking the back of love

Easier said than done you said

But it's more difficult to say

With eyes bigger than our bellies

We want to but we can't look away

What were you thinking of

When you dreamt that up?

What were you thinking of

When you dreamt that up?

Taking advantage of

Breaking the back of love

When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events

(Behind my eyes, behind my eyes)

(Your eyes don't lie)

Eventually you'll shack, shack those shackles off

(Dreams above those eyes)

(Those eyes)

We can't tell our left from right

But we know we love extremes

Getting to grips with the ups and downs

Because there's nothing in between

When you say that's love

Do you mean the back of love

When you say that's love

Do you mean the back of love?

Taking advantage of

Breaking the back of love

What were you thinking of

When you dreamt that up?

We're taking advantage of

We're breaking the back of love

Breaking the back of love
