Loving You by Sting Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2021

You say that I don't listen
That I don't give you no respect
You took your love to some other place
Now, what did you expect?

We made vows inside the church
To forgive each other's sins
But there are things I have to endure
Like the smell of another man's skin

If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is

You say you wanted children
And you would grow into a mother
But in my mind's eye, I would see you
In the arms of another

I am given to jealousy
I've been given to violence
But I could never raise a hand in my defence
So I suffer here in silence
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is

I pray the waters of forgiveness
Will rain down on you and me
Just like newborn babies
In the cradle of a tree

And we will walk in righteousness
We will walk in rain and thunder
And what God has joined together here
Let no man put asunder

If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is

If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
