Band Aid Page #9

---

This is a work in progress.

Sorry.

Okay.

We talk about it all but constant

The wolf and the wolf's meal

A girl, she grows up with no options

But to trust how her gut feels

When mothers warn, we should be careful

We walk with our thighs pressed

Our bodies learned to be fearful

Every touch a dangerous test

A boy, he learns he must be stoic

To earn his badge of pride

To show his pain is not heroic

So he keeps it bottled up inside

The pressure's much too much to handle

The struggle to provide

But history will not dismantle

The rules by which you must abide

Growing up is all about

Learning how to live without

The baggage of our lesser years

Packed tight with

hurt and rage and tears

You and I, let's trace a map

Where we can bridge this gender gap

The destination's very near

We'll spend one night

in the town of fear

Then drive past guilt, regret, and shame

To a town whose only precious name

Is a rustling in the trees

Under which we'll light a fire

And listen to the wind

Whisper

Desire

- HEY-

- Hi.

- It's a work in progress.

- I know.

- I'm sorry, Anna.

- I'm sorry, too.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

- Okay.

- Writing session.

- Yeah.

- How do you write

a love song that's not like...

- I have no idea...

- The corniest.

- How you do that.

You know.

- It just feels so overdone.

- Yeah, I have so much

respect now for Babyface.

- I know.

- You know.

- I mean, I had a lot of respect

for him before.

- No, no,

he's a great musician.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- I'm just saying, I have

a whole new level of respect.

- A whole new love, I know.

- I mean, the real question is...

- What does love

mean to you?

There was a time

I couldn't bear to be bare

I was swallowed up

By the unfair

But you came along

My truth serum

To repair

So we could repair

Love is more than a switch

that needs to be flipped

Yeah, love is a drip

One, two, three, four

It's a concrete mission

That certified friction

It takes precision

To avoid collision

Noble is this

We're mister and missus

We'll never dismiss

What it takes to make this

Love

Song

Love

Song

Love from different

planets, but it's good

It's trust no one, but you must trust

It's bendin' down

and grittin' your teeth

It's seein' what you think you've seen

It's putting out the daily fire

It's facing all the welcome desires

It's never shuttin' the bathroom door

Laughing inside, even when you're bored

It's finding new from the every day

It's f***in' your brains out

Every which way

- One, two, three.

Love is a fight, fight

A fight with you

And that's the only love I know

To be true

I love you

You and I

HI, I, I, I, I, I

We can fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Try we might to find the light

Try we might

You and I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Get low, get high

High, high, high, high, high

But by the by

Side by side

Still we find

We find the fight

Fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight, fight

We find the fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

We find the fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

We find the fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

We find the fight
