Unconditional Love

ESPERANZA SPALDING · Emily's D+Evolution 2016 · Track 02 of 12

Written by Esperanza Spalding

We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?) (We see a real love start unfolding...)

Faded cliches and makeup Dancing and singing scripted delight Every act ends in breakup That, same old boring story I've played too many nights The curtain ends up falling? Then arrows strike my heart

Oh, but oh If some magic should find me Like the magic in your eyes, oh If your eyes would invite me, oh

[x2] We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?) (We see a real love start unfolding...)

For my finale, waiting Off in the wings, to sing the last song And when we're done pretending Throw me a white bouquet

Oh I, close the curtain behind me And enclose me in your arms, oh If your arms would invite me, oh

[x3] We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?) (We see a real love start unfolding?)
