Lyrics
If you're gonna love me, best get ready
If you think you're ready, best make plans
If you plan to keep me, better hold on loosely
If you plan to hold me, use both hands
I've held on too tightly, I've let love go free
I've professed it nightly, and I've kept it all to me
I've seen love go wrong, heard it write a song
No pressure, but if you make a mess here
I'll just give up on the whole damn thing CHORUS
I guess I'm sounding jaded, I guess I've been around
The love I've found has faded, that's when it can be found
So if you think it's real, think you can seal the deal
I'm just sayin' if you're not betrayin' me
I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. CHORUS
Look at that grin, I trust you 'bout as far as I can throw you
Then again, I think I could throw you quite a long long way.
CHORUS 2X
