You want a love and you fight to get
It gives you hell and it ain't done yet
You want a lie or you want the truth?
Love is the law and you are the proof
You cry and cry but you never come out clean
But you will try til the dirt below looks green

You want my blood, sweat, tears
You want my life, my breath, my fear
I gave you moonlight
Soft kisses for years
But you want my blood, sweat, tears

Ridin' off on a greyhound bus
You brought a sign, said NY or bust
You got a vision the woman said
You gotta live out what's in your head
You better dance 'til your feet beg for an end
'Cause girl tomorrow, you're on that bus again

You want my blood, sweat, tears
You want my love, my death, my dear
I gave you moonlight
Soft kisses for years
But you want my blood, sweat, tears

You want my blood, sweat, tears
You want my life, my breath, my fear
I gave you moonlight
Soft kisses for years
But you want my blood, sweat, tears
