Lyrics Watered-Down Love (Live June 12, 1981) - Bob Dylan

Love that's pure hopes all things
Believes all things, won't pull no strings
Won't sneak up into your room, tall, dark and handsome
Capture your soul and hold it for ransom
You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love
Love that's pure, it don't make no claims
Intercedes for you instead of casting you blame
Will not deceive you or lead you into transgression
Won't write it up and make you sign a false confession
You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love
Love that's pure won't lead you astray
Won't hold you back, won't get in your way
Won't pervert you, corrupt you with foolish wishes
Will, no, not make you envious, won't make you suspicious
You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love
Love that's pure, ain't no accident
, Is always content
An eternal flame, quietly burning
Never needs to be proud, loud or restlessly yearning
You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love
Watered-down love
You want a watered-down love
Watered-down love
You want a watered-down love
Yes, you do
You know you do
Watered-down love, oh
You want a watered-down love
Yes, you do
You know you do
Watered-down love
Watered-down love
Yes, you do
You know you do
Watered-down love
You want a watered-down love
Yes, you do
You know you do
Watered-down love, oh
Watered-down love
You want a watered-down love
Yes, you do
You know you do
