Sarah Burton — Lovely Distraction lyrics

Lyrics

Love is hard to get
But it ain’t hard to find
The one I love is miles away in body spirit and mind
I can’t give you my heart
Or complete devotion
My love isn’t pure
Nor deep as an ocean
If you give me the world
I’ll give you a fraction
All that I’m looking for is a lovely distraction
lovely distraction, lovely distraction, not quite satisfaction, but lovely,
lovely distraction
Some folks say
I just want what’s not mine
Oh maybe they’re right
But for now I’ll bide my time
I can’t give you my heart
Or complete devotion
My love isn’t pure
Nor deep as an ocean
If you give me the world
I’ll give you a fraction
All that I’m looking for is a lovely distraction
lovely distraction, lovely distraction, not quite satisfaction, but lovely,
lovely distraction
I have a vision — it’s crystal clear
He’s holding me close — the kids are near
He pulls me in close — lips to my ear
And whispers «sweet darling… I love you my dear»
Some folks say
I just want what’s not mine
Some folks say it’s fate — that he’ll come to me in time
Lovely distraction
Lovely distraction
A human reaction to dissatisfaction
If you give me the world
I’ll give you a fraction
All that I’m looking for is a lovely distraction
Lovely distraction
Lovely distraction
Not quite satisfaction, but lovely lovely distraction
