And it's only doubts that we're counting

On fingers broken long ago

I read with every broken heart we should become

More adventurous

And if you banish me from your profits

And if I get banished from the kingdom up above

I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love

Let me be loved, let me be loved



And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just it

And if my hands stop working you can call me lazy

And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the baby

Let it be loved, let me be loved



I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck

Wanting to say I will as my last testament

For me to be saved and you to be brave 

We don't have to walk down that aisle

'Cause if marriage ain't enough

Well at least we'll be loved



I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east

And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees

And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind

Give love to make more, try to stay alive



I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck

Wanting to say I will as my last testament

For you to be saved and me to be brave 

We don't have to walk down that aisle

'Cause if marriage ain't enough

Well at least we'll be loved
