Je veux te construire, baby, je ne veux pas te laisser tomber

Well I'm walking along this road across this desolate country

I got a hundred things to do before I'm leavin'

I got a thousand years and a million tears

Packed into one lonely week of life

But you can do so much with your touch

With your feeling

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

Saving all of your smiles

Stashin' 'em in my stashpile

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

I wanna build you up, baby

I don't wanna let you down

They told me before I left my warm and cozy home

They said the city lights and the life, sure to burn me

But it seems as though folks got to know about love and sympathy

I might could teach them something, and maybe they can learn me

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

Saving all of your smiles

Stashin' 'em in my stashpile

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

I wanna build you up, baby

I don't wanna let you down

But I'm walking along this road across this desolate country

I got a hundred things to do before I'm leavin'

But I can stop for a while and give you a smile if love is what you need

Come on and hear me out with your touch, with your feeling

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

Saving all of your smiles

Stashin' 'em in my stashpile

Talkin' 'bout mmm...

Taking your love down

I wanna build you up, baby

I don't wanna let you down

Don't wanna let you down

Don't wanna let you down
