Say you love me to my face I need it more than your embrace Just say you want me, that's all it takes Heart's getting torn from your mistakes 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you might And babe, it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Just say you love me, just for today And don't give me time 'cause that's not the same Want to feel burning flames when you say my name Want to feel passion flow into my bones Like blood through my veins 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you might And babe, it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Won't you stay Won't you stay Slowly, slowly you run for me But do you know me at all Some one told me love controls everything But only if you know 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love (No no no no) If you don't wanna try (Could you try some time) 'Cause all that I've been thinking of (I just think) Is maybe that you might (You might) 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you might And babe, it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Won't you stay Won't you stay
