Don’t try to talk me out of loving you cause it won’t succeed
Don’t try to say for a warm embrace that you have no need
Motivations all are in the right place so don’t try discouraging me.
Don’t try to tell me when it comes to love that you don’t believe
And don’t start saying how it’s getting late and you have to leave
Take your time, don’t move too fast but, baby, please stay with me
When we first met you know you won my heart
But you want to be sure before the loving starts
Don’t mistake what I feel inside
Baby, don’t run and hide from me
Don’t start talking about your old mistakes and your tragedies
And don’t try to tell me in the ways of love you lack expertise
There ain’t no rules, it’s just common sense, now, baby,
Why don’t you see?
I’ve got no plans but it’s understood
Everything I do I try to do it good
You make me happy, won’t you hear my plea
Baby, stop talking that stuff to me
This ain’t the kind of thing you throw away, I can guarantee
And don’t try to tell me deep down inside that you don’t agree
We got something, babe, we’re on the right track, so, baby,
please stick with me
You got to understand if the feelings good
That two can be happier than one ever could
Don’t be frightened by what you feel
Honey, this loves for real, believe.
