Here, somewhere in the heart of me There is still a part of me That cares And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got Even though I'm sure it's not The best for me When you're born a lover You're born to suffer Like all soul sisters And soul brothers I, I can see the danger signs They only help to underline Your beauty I'm not looking for an easy ride True happiness cannot be tried So easily When you're born a lover You're born to suffer Like all soul sisters And soul brothers Like all soul sisters And soul brothers You can take your time I'll be waiting in line You don't even have to give me The time of day When you're born a lover You're born to suffer Like all soul sisters And soul brothers Like all soul sisters And soul brothers
