Tattoo

yeah, I've got ink that no one can see
it is hidden way down deep inside of me
it's not on my back or anywhere on my arm
it is your love tattooed on my heart

didn't go to a parlour and have it etched
I don't need ink cause I'll never forget
the way we are...the way you make me feel
I don't have ink but this is so real

you know it's there as I'm riding the legend
you can feel it's smooth, soft, deep edges
it may not be apparent--this invisible ink
but you put it there, deep inside of me

yeah, I've got ink that no one can see
it is hidden way down deep inside of me
it's not on my back or anywhere on my arm
it is your love tattooed on my heart
