Graham Parker My Love's Strong lyrics

When the world's asleep and there's no one in your arms
Raindrops hit the window like distant alarms
You don't have to worry, hey girl, don't you cry
My love beats adversity, baby, eats it alive
And I got a real human soul, don't tell me that I'm wrong

I'll be there and my love's strong

When you have to work like a slave everyday
Pounding the concrete and counting your change
When you have to sweat while the privileged relax
When you feel invisible, baby, and falling through the cracks
Remember, you got a real human soul
Don't tell me that I'm wrong


I'll be there and my love's strong

Strong and relentless behind the veil of forgetfulness
That covers the heart, not tied up in bondage
Or nailed to the wall with a dart
When you have to suffer or howl out in pain
And act like you're hungry for more of the same
Let me tell ya, you got a real human soul
You can't tell me I'm wrong

I'll be there and my love's strong
