Blood Simple

When I left work in the middle of the day
I didn't tell the boss it was 'cause I couldn't take
This bein' away from you
When I knew you were waitin' somewhere for me

Which you told me on my voice-mail as only you could
Had a couple hours off, might do me some good
And you know that I can't resist
The way that I feel when I think of your kiss

It's blood simple, bone deep
Love's a promise that I mean to keep
Baby, you can hold me to it 'til my last heartbeat

It's blood simple, bone deep
Even when I lay me down to sleep
Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me
Heart strong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep

Some things in life you can never understand
And even when you try to describe 'em you can't
Ever say what they really mean
'Cause you always mean more than you can say

That's the way it is every time I look in your eyes
There's something so pure, it completely defies
Any words that I'm thinkin' of
All I can say when it comes to our love

It's blood simple, bone deep
Love's a promise that I mean to keep
Baby, you can hold me to it 'til my last heartbeat

It's blood simple, bone deep
Even when I lay me down to sleep
Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me
It's heart strong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep

It's blood simple, bone deep
Even when I lay me down to sleep
Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me
It's heart strong, life long, true blue, blood simple
It's heart strong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep
