lyrics

[Spoke Word]
Whether for partner, family, humanity, all living beings, or even God, it's always the choosing to love that gives value to love. I'm not talking about being 'in love' ... infatuated ... but the active choosing to make happiness of another important.

[Chorus]
Remains up to me
Always choice is mine
Able, capable
Lover by design

[Verse 1]
You ask me why love you - my excuse?
Does your beauty seduce me? Sometimes
Your shakti attract me? Yes
Your magic oblige me? No!

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 2]
You ask me why love you - my story?
Does your glory entice me? Sometimes
Adventure excite me? Yes
Your desire oblige me? No!

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You ask me why love you - my reason?
Does your power subdue me? Sometimes it does
Detachment intrigue me? Yes
Dependence oblige me? No!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
You ask me why love you - my motive?
Does your humour amuse me? Yes
Your wisdom confuse me? Yes, a little
Bewilder, oblige me? No!

[Repeat Chorus]
