When I saw it down on paper
Love looked like
High heels, black tie
Paris streets at midnight
When I saw it in the movies
Love looked like
A diamond ring, a red rose
Chandeliers and the grandiose

But I don’t want what it looks like
Only what it feels like

I don’t need the bells and whistles
To tell me I’m in love
I don’t need a Casanova to take me to Rome
It doesn’t have to be dramatic
To be something magic
It just has to feel like home
I don’t need the bells and whistles

It’s a different kind of romance
It don’t cost much, but it's enough
For everything I’m dreaming of
And it comes as second nature
It’s like bare feet at twilight
Dancing round like fireflies

But I don’t want what it looks like
Only what it feels like

No I don’t need the bells and whistles
To tell me I’m in love
I don’t need a Casanova to take me to Rome
It doesn’t have to be dramatic
To be something magic
It just has to feel like home
I don’t need the bells and whistles

I don’t need the bells and whistles
To tell me I’m in love
I don’t need a Casanova to take me to Rome
It doesn’t have to be dramatic
To be something magic
It just has to feel like home
I don’t need the bells and whistles
To tell me I’m in love
I don’t need a Casanova to take me to Rome
It doesn’t have to be dramatic
To be something magic
It just has to feel like home
I don’t need the bells and whistles
