Gerry Rafferty - Unselfish Love LYRICS

I've got a woman, and she's so good to me

She broke into my heart, and she still holds the key

She's the only one I know, who ever really gave to me

Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love.



I used to run around so fancy free

But all those crazy nights just drained my energy

Well I was thinking only of myself, like a fool I could not see

Her unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love.



Now everybody wants to share real love and understanding

Life without it can seem tragic

But when there is someone you love

And they give you real love in return

Well you know life can be magic.



She can turn my whole world upside down (up, down, and around)

She's the one who keeps my feet on solid ground

I never knew just what I had before but now I know I've found

Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah)



Now everybody wants to share real love and understanding

Life without it can seem tragic

But when there is someone you love

And they give you real love in return

Well you know life can be magic.



When I'm feeling low down negative (still runnin' away)

And I know I've got to change the way I live

She just shakes her head and wonders

If I'll ever learn to give

Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah)



Unselfish love

(I've got a woman and she's so good to me)

(yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key)

(when I'm feeling low down negative from the way I live)

She gives me reason (she just shakes her head and wonders if I'll ever learn to give)

Unselfish love (I've got a woman and she's so good to me)

She never worries (yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key)
