Women of a certain age 
They learn to rely and judge all his responses 
Having played the mating game 
She doesn't waste time 'cause all that she wants is 
Really honest emotions 
Ones he can't help but show 
Though I hardly know your name 
I know about love and I know 

I don't want to lose you 
I don't even want to say goodbye 
I just want to hold on 
To this true love, true love 

Women who have made mistakes 
Are a little afraid, they don't like taking chances 
She will play the waiting game 
She's never impressed by those manly advances 

I know I've only just met you 
Maybe I should know better 
But when you look at me that way 
There's something inside that's so right 

I don't want to lose you 
I don't even want to say goodbye oh no
I just want to hold on 
To this true love, true love 

I don't want to lose you 
And I always want to feel this way, oh yeah
'Cause every time I'm with you 
I feel true love, true love, true love

Tell me you're real 
You're not pretending 
Let's make a deal 
'Cause my heart's depending on you

I don't want to lose you 
I don't even want to say goodbye oh no
I just want to hold on 
To this true love, true love 

I don't want to lose you 
And I always want to feel this way, oh yeah
'Cause every time I'm with you 
I feel true love, true love, true love

I don't want to lose you 
I don't even want to say goodbye oh no
I just want to hold on 
To this true love, true love 

I don't want to lose you 
And I always want to feel this way
'Cause every time I'm with you 
I feel true love, true love, true love

I don't want to lose you 
I don't even want to say goodbye
