听歌学英语:心满意足 Satisfied

听歌学英语:心满意足 Jewel Kilcher - Satisfied¹

If you love somebody, you better let it out

Don't hold it back

While you're trying to figure it out

Don't be timid²

Don't be afraid to hurt

Run toward³ the flame

Run toward the fire

Hold on for all your worth

Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know

Is the sorrow⁴ of regret

When you don't let you feelings show

So did you say it, did you mean it

Did you lay it on the line

Did you make it count

Did you look him in the eye

Did they feel it

Did you say it in time, did you say it out loud

Cause if you did hon

Then you lived some that feeling inside

That is called satisfied

Busy people walking by

Can't help but worry some

With so many things to do, so little love gets done

Empty hearts everywhere

Drowning but dying⁵ of thirst

If you want love, it's not that tough

Start by giving it first

It's easy to give

Baby can't you see

Just close you eyes, open you heart

And do what comes naturally

So did you say it, did you mean it

Did you lay it on the line

Did you make it count

Did you look him in the eye, did they feel it

Did you say it in time

Did you say it out loud

Cause if you did hon

Then you lived some that feeling inside

That is called satisfied

Horses are built to run

The sun is meant to shine above

Flowers are made to bloom⁶

And then there us

We were born to love

We were born to love

So did you say it, did you mean it

Did you lay it on the line

Did you say it, did you mean it

Did you lay it on the line

Did you make it count

Did you look him in the eye

Did they feel it

Did you say it in time

Did you say it out loud

Because if you did hon

Then you lived some that feeling inside

That is called satisfied
