Esperanza Spalding — Unconditional Love lyrics

Lyrics

We could change the whole story of love
Same old play I’m getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles
Just us living unconditional love
(Could we be real love?)
Faded cliches and makeup
Dancing and singing scripted delight
Every act ends in breakup
That same old boring story I’ve played too many nights
The curtain
Oh, but oh If some magic should find me Like the magic in our eyes, oh If your eyes would invite me, oh We could change the whole story of love
Same old play I’m getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles
Just us living unconditional love
(Could we be real love?)
For my finale, waiting
Off in the wings to sing the last song
And when we’re done pretending
Throw me a white bouquet
Oh I close the curtain behind me And enclose me in your arms
If your arms would invite me, oh We could change the whole story of love
Same old play I’m getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles
Just us living unconditional love
(Could we be real love?)
