Lyrics

If you'd had your heart broken
as many times as me
you'd understand why I approach love
with uncertainty
just like when climbing down a mountain
you'd be careful on a small and narrow ledge
and not get too close to the edge

If I get too close to love there's every chance I'd fall
I find myself just backing off so there's no chance at all
you know I love to be with women
and there's no way i would ever take the pledge
but I won't get too close to the edge

To the edge of love's about as far as I will go
I'm not about to get involved again
so take me as you find me
if you can't then let me go
there's no doubt that I want you
but I want you as a friend

so under these conditions if you think it can work out
together maybe we can find what friendship's all about
you know my arms will open wide
but I'm pretty sure I know how far they'll stretch
so I don't get too close to the edge
