Paul Heaton - The Austerity of Love lyrics

[Verse 1] Got my wow, got my core And he's waiting at the door for me Making things secure for me When I return Got my needs, got my love And it fits me like a glove And it's dripping from above Like a candle, it burns [Pre-Chorus 1] Old brown bear and honey bee Pa** me by and wink at me Realise that what I got Is too much for one honey pot [Chorus] Sugar is the centre of the honeycomb Sweeter still the heart that actually owns my own Got my schmaltz, got my cheese Got me down on my knees Got me begging you please The obesity of love The propensity (of love) The depravity (of love) The austerity (of love) Of love... [Verse 2] Got my saccharine, my sweet And it's next to me on seat And everything I eat seems to Taste so damn sour Got my praise, got my prayer And it's getting everywhere Like your God isn't there for me Just this higher power [Pre-Chorus 2] Old March hare and kangaroo Tip their hats and 'How'd you do?' Recognise it in my stride Love is skipping by my side [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus 3] Pitcher plant and Venus trap Give me five and slap my back They can tell just from my smile I'll be staying for a while [Chorus]
