[Verse 1]
Beaten down to an inch of my life by ignorant people
Came close to making me believe I was nothing but evil
No one has the authority to tell us who we give our life to
You have the right to be loved
By everyone who's willing to love you

[Chorus]
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood 'cause
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
Are bound by love line

[Verse 2]
It's what you find out for yourself and not what you're fed
It's what you feel down in your heart and not put in your head
Everyday I pour myself into you hoping that in time
You'll pour yourself back into me
Solidify this love line

[Chorus]
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood 'cause
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
You and I are bound by love line
By a love line
You and I, you and I are bound by a love line
By a love line

[Bridge]
We'll walk together down this love line
I'll keep you safe and sound on this love line
Don't ever doubt the power of this love line
We are bound to be free on this love line
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line, you and I, you and I
Are bound by a love line, by a love line
You and I, you and I are bound by a love line
(Bound by a love line)
You and I, you and I are bound by a love line
(Bound by a love line)

[Chorus]
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood
They say blood is thicker than water
I say love is thicker than blood 'cause
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line you and I
Are bound by love line

[Outro - Repeated]
You and I are bound by a love line
By a love line, you and I, you and I

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
