Love Song

Love Song by Sara Bareilles is featured in Naked, the twelfth episode in Season Four. It is sung by Quinn, Rachel, and Santana.

Earlier in the episode, Kurt calls Quinn and Santana to help him give Rachel an intervention on the topless scene she wants to shoot for a student film, seeing as he can't convince her to not do it. She walks off the set and as she packs, she begins to sing still in her robe. She strolls through the halls of NYADA, singing as she enters the NYADA auditorium and sees Santana and Quinn and the band on the set of the student film. Together, they sing and dance.

At the end of the song, they share a group hug, and Rachel asks them to stay as she wants to buy them dinner. Both Quinn and Santana agree, and as the three leave, Santana expresses an interest in New York.

Lyrics

Rachel:
Head under water
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder
Even I know there's
A made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me

Rachel and Santana:
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today

Rachel:
Today, yea-hey
Oh

Quinn:
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
My heavy heart
Sinks deep down under you

Santana:
And your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Rachel:
Convinced me to please you

Rachel and Santana:
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me (and Quinn: as I am)

Santana:
I'm not gonna write you a love song

Rachel and Santana:
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay

Rachel and Santana:
If all you have is leaving
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today

Quinn with Rachel and Santana vocalizing:
Promise me
That you'll leave the light on
To help me see
The daylight, my guide, gone

Santana with Quinn and Rachel vocalizing:
Cause I believe there's a way
You can love me because I say

Rachel:
I won't write you a love song
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one

Quinn:
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
Is that why you wanted a love song? (Quinn: Hey, yeah)

Rachel and Santana:
Cause you asked for it

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song

Rachel and Santana:
(Quinn: Write you a love song) Cause you tell me it's

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
Make or break in this
If you're on your way

Rachel and Santana:
I'm not gonna write you

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
(Quinn: Write you) to stay

Rachel and Santana (Quinn):
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it (and Quinn: for a minute, babe)
I'll walk the seven seas (Walk the seven seas)
When I believe that there's a reason to write you (Write you)

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
A love song

Rachel and Santana:
Today

Quinn:
Today (Rachel: Hey, today)
I won't write you a love song (Santana: Ee-yeah, hey)
Today

Rachel:
I won't write you a love song

Quinn, Rachel, and Santana:
Today
