What Love Can Do

John Hiatt

We're were always happiest
When we needed the least
Who knew this love
Would turn into such a feast
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
And a midnight snack
I'm full to the brim
But I keep comin' back

You take your tiara babe
I'll take my crown
C'mon honey let's go downtown
Trade 'em in on pauper's rags
And some worn out shoes
Count on the kindness of strangers
That's what love can do

[Chorus]
That's what love can do
Make you feel brand new
That's what love can do
Lose someone you thought was you
That's what love can do
Fire your heart and burn clean through
That's what love can do
That's what love can do
That's what love can do

It's like we laid in this riverbed
For a couple of million years
Shaped by the waters
Till we've nearly disappeared
Two little grains of sand
Locked in the eternal kiss
Don't wake me up now
There's something I might miss

[Chorus]

You dream a dream
Then the dream comes true
Can you imagine what love can do
You're alone in the coffee shop
And then she's by your side
Love's picked up the tab
And you're both having pie

[Chorus: x2]
