basics (bare minimum)

You treat her like a prize to be won, not a heart to be held Like a shiny new toy You refuse her of joy She deserves so much more than she's getting So give her much more than you're giving Why's love not the bare minimum? Why must they expect less from us? What ever happened to the basics? The basics of love: Kiss her when she's feeling low Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms Make love the bare minimum Make her expect more from you And bring back the basics The basics of love Why can't you see she's a star? There's a shine in her heart She'll change the world if you let her And she should change the world, why won't you let her? Why's love not the bare minimum? Why must they expect less from us? What ever happened to the basics? The basics of love: Kiss her when she's feeling low Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms Make love the bare minimum Make her expect more from you And bring back the basics The basics of love What's our world come down to? All you care about is you Let's fix this mess Fix our world And show we care about her Why's love not the bare minimum? Why must they expect less from us? What ever happened to the basics? The basics of love: Kiss her when she's feeling low Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms Make love the bare minimum Make her expect more from you And bring back the basics The basics of love
