Eli Nelson - basics (bare minimum) Lyrics

You treat her like a prize to be won, not a heart to be held
Like a shiny new toy
You refuse her of joy
She deserves so much more than she's getting
So give her much more than you're giving
Why's love not the bare minimum?
Why must they expect less from us?
What ever happened to the basics?
The basics of love:
Kiss her when she's feeling low
Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled
Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms
Make love the bare minimum
Make her expect more from you
And bring back the basics
The basics of love
Why can't you see she's a star?
There's a shine in her heart
She'll change the world if you let her
And she should change the world, why won't you let her?
Why's love not the bare minimum?
Why must they expect less from us?
What ever happened to the basics?
The basics of love:
Kiss her when she's feeling low
Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled
Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms
Make love the bare minimum
Make her expect more from you
And bring back the basics
The basics of love
What's our world come down to?
All you care about is you
Let's fix this mess
Fix our world
And show we care about her
Why's love not the bare minimum?
Why must they expect less from us?
What ever happened to the basics?
The basics of love:
Kiss her when she's feeling low
Bring her flowers when she's weary-souled
Make her feel like she's at home when she's in your arms
Make love the bare minimum
Make her expect more from you
And bring back the basics
The basics of love
