Text: Cyndi Lauper. Other. Unabbreviated Love.

How long will I last
Standing out here on my own
I wonder, did I move too fast
You know I hate slow dancing alone

I keep leading with my heart
You keep saying
That we're worlds apart
That our love is so taboo

These empty arms
Won't last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
and I'll stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated love

Now, that's how I feel
I'm gonna be your lucky star
If you stop spinning your wheels
And sending out these false alarms

Why must love feel like a heart attack
You held me once and
You keep coming back
Oh boy you haven't got a clue

Oh these empty arms
Won't last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
and I'll stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated ...

Love is unavoidable
Love can put you back on track
As a matter of fact
Love makes you forget your troubles
A love like that
You don't throw back, no, no

I keep leading with my heart
You keep saying
That we're worlds apart
That our love is so taboo

These empty arms
Won't last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
and I'll stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated love

(to fade)
Need ya yeah
I wanna hold ya
I wanna kiss ya
I need your unabbreviated love

I wanna hold ya
I wanna squeeze ya yeah
I need your unabbreviated love
