I know that you have been hurt before And you want to take things slow. I'll be patient, for I understand. But there's something that you should know. It wasn't me who brought you down And caused your world to end. The role that I now play will be okay, I'll start out as just a friend. Just don't make me pay For what others did yesterday. I'm not the one who caused you needless pain. Let me kiss the tears out from your eyes. I'm not like the other guys. Give me a chance for real romance, Just don't make me pay. Broken love has left your head spinning, With a little fear and a lot of doubt. Take down the wall around you. Please don't fence me out. I just need this chance to show you Real love and security. Don't be afraid, I know the price you've paid. Just give this chance to me. Just don't make me pay For what others did yesterday. I'm not the one who caused you needless pain. Let me kiss the tears out from your eyes. I'm not like the other guys. Give me a chance for real romance, Just don't make me pay. "I promise I won't hurt you." That's probably something you once heard. Anything said without an action Is just a word. One day at a time I will show you, Your crystal heart is safe with me. I won't let you down, I'll be around. Take a chance and you will see. Just don't make me pay For what others did yesterday. I'm not the one who caused you needless pain. Let me kiss the tears out from your eyes. I'm not like the other guys. Give me a chance for real romance, Just don't make me pay. B.G. Wetherby Enchanted Mountain Poems |
