Gregory Porter - If Love Is Overrated
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived.
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
It’s not the hand that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion.
If love is overrated, why is it the only thing I serve
If love is overrated, why is the one I’m in the one that I deserve
I can tell you, oh it feels so real, every touch that I steal
Your arms an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
I’ll like this strange illusion .
Whoa I’m ok, with loves never-ending dream
It’s a risk I’ll like to take
In the hope I’ll never wake
From this thing I call my fate reality .
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived.
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
Is not the hands that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
Let me be the only fool that you embrace, let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion.
And whoa I’m ok
Love’s never-ending dream
That’s a risk I’ll like to take
In the hopes I’ll never wake from this thing I call my fate reality .
If love is overrated, I’ll like overrated
If love is overrated, I’ll love overrated
If love is overrated, I am obsessed with overrated
If love is overrated, I’m in love with overrated.
