    Love Me Like That

    Last night I heard a beautiful
    poem about love 
    a cowboy to his woman
    the one he called his home 
    Every breath she took
    seemed to bring his soul to life 
    And everything he did
    he did for his wife 

    The poet who read it 
    he sent it out to me 
    saying someday some cowboy 
    might make me feel that free 

    But if someone 
    would love me like that 
    I’d tear down my walls 
    Turn in my hats 
    Surrender the war 
    Learn to relax 
    Stop scheming of smashing things up with a bat 
    Be who I am 
    Be done with the act 
    If someone would love me like that 
         
    Like that 
    Like that 
    Love me like that

    People say love is gentle and kind 
    That’s not the type I’m so anxious to find 
    The love I’ve known did not start out true 
    The fraudulence twisted my heart through and through 

    I want a lover courageous and real 
    who’ll pick up my map steady the wheel 
    and get drunk on devotion not on the drink 
    who trusts what I feel and knows how I think 

    The love that I give 
    is brighter than the sun 
    my heart is steady beating 
    waiting for the one 

    Who’ll say “I am the one 
    who loves you like that 
    So tear down your walls 
    Turn in your hats 
    Surrender the war 
    Learn to relax 
    Stop scheming of smashing things up with a bat 
    Be who you are 
    Be done with the act 
    ‘cause I am the one who loves you like that 

    Like that 
    Like that 
    I will love you like that 
    Like that 
    Like that 
    I will love you like that”

    And the day I wake up 
    with that person next to me 
    is the day I’ll start believing 
    love can set you free 

    And I’ll turn to the one 
    who loves me like that 
    Tear down my walls 
    Turn in my hats 
    Surrender the war 
    Learn to relax 
    Stop scheming of smashing things up with that bat 
    Be who I am 
    Be done with the act 
    In the arms of the one who loves me like that 

    Like that 
    Like that 
    Do you love me like that? 
    Like that 
    Like that 
    Can you love me like that? 
    Like that 
    Like that 
    Like that 
    Love me like that


    Love Me Like That
