True love

\nNever ask for your love to give up all her friends
\nYou must see jealousy has no part in this life
\nAlways love who she is not the way she pretends
\nReal love does not ask for a\u00a0 slave as a wife<\/p>\n
When you give of yourself to your love you will grow
\nAnd you’ll find happiness in the smile on her face
\nThere will be a reward in the form of a glow
\nWhen you know selfishness has to be out of place<\/p>\n
All the time that you give to the truth of your heart
\nWill be paid back in kind if her love does not lie
\nThere is nothing more sure to tear people apart
\nThan demanding a part of your partner must die<\/p>\n
All of you must be there in the life that you share
\nWhen true love’s in the air nothing else can compare<\/p>\n
