I'm afraid to love you, Afraid to let go, For I've been hurt so many times before. II I'm afraid to love you with all of my heart, Afraid you'll deceive me And tear my world apart. Chorus ..... Though I've felt joy - and known delight holding someone - all through the night, I've also known - pain and deceit and unfair demands - I couldn't meet. III I'm afraid to love you the way you want me too, I know I shouldn't doubt you but I guess that I do. Bridge ...., I'm so afraid to take another chance, I paid too much for my last romance, Now I'm like a pearl hiding in shell Too timid to move and living in hell. Musical Break ..... Repeat Chorus ..... Though I've felt joy - and known delight holding someone - all through the night, I've also known - pain and deceit and unfair demands - I couldn't meet. Tag ..... And now - I'm afraid to love you But I know that I do - I really love you.
