[Verse 1]
I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
[Verse 2]
I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothin', I just feel cold
Don't feel nothin', just old scars
Toughenin' up around my heart
[Chorus]
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
[Verse 2]
I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh, man I've seen so much traffic
[Chorus]
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
[Bridge]
So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Oh, a man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
[Chorus]
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
[Outro]
Oh, I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
[Verse 2]
I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothin', I just feel cold
Don't feel nothin', just old scars
Toughenin' up around my heart
[Chorus]
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
[Verse 2]
I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh, man I've seen so much traffic
[Chorus]
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
[Bridge]
So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough

[Outro]
Oh, I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
