When I left work in the middle of the day

I didn't tell the boss it was 'cause I couldn't take

This bein' away from you

When I knew you were waitin' somewhere for me

Which you told me on my voicemail as only you could

Had a couple hours off might do me some good

And you know that I can't resist

The way I feel when I think of your kiss



It's blood simple, bone deep

Love's a promise that I mean to keep

Baby you can hold me to it 'til my last heartbeat

It's blood simple, bone deep

Even when I lay me down to sleep



Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me

Heartstrong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep



Some things in life you can never understand

And even when you try to describe 'em you can't

Ever say what they really mean

'Cause you always mean more than you can say

That's the way it is everytime I look in your eyes

There's something so pure it completely defies

Any words that I'm thinkin' of

All I can say when it comes to our love



It's blood simple, bone deep

Love's a promise that I mean to keep

Baby you can hold me to it 'til my last heartbeat

It's blood simple, bone deep

Even when I lay me down to sleep

Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me

Heartstrong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep



It's blood simple, bone deep

Even when I lay me down to sleep

Don't you know that you're the only thing that matters to me

Heartstrong, life long, true blue, blood simple

Heartstrong, life long, true blue, blood simple, bone deep
