  			Intro:{A} 
{A}He's just a small fry. A bit too g{D}un shy. 
To have his {A}heart touched without a {E}glove 
He looks at {A}strangers as potential da{D}ngers 
Trying to S{A}teal his {E}aimless l{A}ove. 
 
Love has {D}no mind. It can't spell un{A}kind. 
It's never seen a heart shaped like a Valent{E}ine 
For if love {A}knew him. It'd walk up {D}to him 
And introd{A}uce him to an a{E}imless l{A}ove 
 
{A}I been out walking. Kinda pillow ta{D}lking 
To anyo{A}ne that has the time for {E}me 
For there are s{A}ome folks they think that l{D}ove chokes. 
It ties and {A}keeps them {E}from being f{A}ree 
 
Love has {D}no mind. It can't spell un{A}kind 
It's never seen a heart shaped like a Valent{E}ine 
For if love {A}knew you. It'd walk up {D}to you 
And introd{A}uce you to an a{E}imless l{A}ove 
 
Instrumental:{A} D}, A E 
 
Do you look at {A}strangers as potential d{D}angers 
Trying to {A}steal your a{E}imless l{A}ove. 
 
Love has {D}no mind. It can't spell un{A}kind 
It's never seen a heart shaped like a Valent{E}ine 
For if love {A}knew you. It'd walk up {D}to you 
And introd{A}uce you to an a{E}imless l{A}ove 
And introd{A}uce you to an a{E}imless l{A}ove E A
