How can I tell you To put it all in words There is so much left to say But the meaning slips away And how can I show you To see it through my eyes Don't deny that part of you That's been dying for it too How do I know if I give you too much Will I snare you away How do I know when to leave you alone When to beg you to stay I want to know Just how much love does it take To get to you I stand here ready to break Tell me, tell me How much love does it take Moment to moment I don't know where it stands Will I end up like the rest Well it's anybody's guess Can I persuade you So softly in a touch If it's all a waste of time Well I'm only wasting mine How do I know if I give you too much Will I scare you away How do I know when to leave you alone When to beg you to stay I want to know Just how much love does it take To get to you I stand here ready to break Tell me, tell me How much love does it take How do I know when to leave you alone When to beg you to stay I want to know Just how much love does it take To get to you I stand here ready to break Tell me, tell me Just how much love does it take It's up to you I stand here ready to break Tell me, tell me Oh tell me, tell me How much love does it take How much love does it take How much love
