Watered-Down Love - 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 heart 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 false claims

Intercedes for you 'stead 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 mess up your day

Won’t pervert you, corrupt you with stupid wishes

It don’t make you envious, it don’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

Always on time, is always content

An eternal flame, quietly burning

Never needs to be proud, restlessly yearning

You don’t want a love that’s pure

You wanna drown love

You want a watered-down love
