Please

Video:U2 - Please

So you never knew love... until you crossed the line of grace And you never felt wanted... 'til you'd someone slap your face So you never felt alive... until you'd almost wasted away

You had to win, you couldn't just pass The smartest ass, at the top of the class Your flying colors, your family tree And all your lessons in history

Please... please... please... Get up off your knees Please... please... please... Please...

(One, two, three, four)

So you never knew... how low you'd stoop to make that call And you never knew... what was on the ground until they made you crawl So you never knew... that the heaven you keep, you stole

Your catholic blues, your convent shoes Your stick on tattoos, now they're making the news Your holy war, your northern star Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car

Please... please... please... Get up off your knees Please-yeah... please... please... Leave me out of this place

So love is hard and love is tough But love is not what you're thinking of

September, streets capsizing Spilling over down the drains Shards of glass, splinters like rain But you could only feel your own pain

October, talk getting nowhere November... December... remember We just start it again

Please... please... please... Get up off your knee there Please... please... please... Please...

So love is big, is bigger than us But love is not what you're thinking of

It's what lovers deal It's what lovers feel You know I've found it hard to receive

Cause you my love I could never believe.
