New Kind of Love

I want one new kind of love with you

I’ve had the kind that seemed so smart
blew my mind
broke my heart
I’ve had the kind that hit me hard
knocked me blind
left me scarred

I want one new kind of love with you

I’ve had the kind that ebbed and flowed
ebbed and flowed
ebbs than goes
I’ve had the kind I call uncertainty
hot then cold
fills a diary

I want one new kind of love with you
I want one new kind of love with you

To drip sweet as mango, to bend as we tango
where there’s no harshness nor hate
and infinity is our love’s expiration date
