You and I need to compromise Need to give and take Look at me don't you realize I can tolerate Whoever else may want you Whatever turns you on Nothing changes I can trust you Just as long as [[Chorus:]] I can feel your heartbeat in my hand And I can see tomorrow in your eyes If we believe that love makes no demands There'll be no time for jealousy and lies Day and night we played with destiny Played with no regrets Never looked it in the eye Never thought I could be Bored to tears with sex There's no sense pretending The past is never ending There is nothing in out world We need to hide [Chorus:] There's no sense pretending The past is never ending There is nothing in out world We need to hide And I can feel your heartbeat in my hand And I can see tomorrow in your eyes If we believe that love makes no demands There'll be no time for jealousy and lies I can feel it
