Last night I made love for the first time
   She gave me her soul, I surely gave her mine
   We lay there just crying with both joy and gloom
   The joy of what we had and the pain left
   Where love lays its tune
  
   Love tears you down
   Oh turns you round
  
   My heart bears the scars of emotional wounds
   I'm scared so it's hard to give myself to you
   Hurt builds a wall round our hearts it's true
   The brave learn to live with the good and bad
   Where love lays its tune
  
   Love tears you down
   Oh turns you round
  
   Oh I swear I'd do anything for you little girl
   Nothing stupid or wrong but something
   That'll make me true little girl
  
   Love tears you down
   Oh turns you round
