Tender Heart - Peter Cox

TENDER HEART

Can’t help but wonder what it is about love, anyway

Brings out the boy within the man?

Keep on believing though I’m standing out in the rain again

Some things I still don’t understand.

You’ve got me dreaming with your promises of a better day

I’m hoping this dream will come true

It won’t be long before I’m walking out on the wire again

Just one thing before I do.

If I give you my tender heart — my tender heart

Will you stand by me like a friend?

If I love you — don’t tear apart my tender heart

‘Cause I’ll see through you if you pretend.

I long for love until I see it when it isn’t there

That kind of hurt takes time to heal

(I'm looking for the real thing now)

Now there’s a voice inside that’s warning me

It says ‘take care.

Are you sure that this is real?'

If I give you my tender heart — my tender heart

Will you stand by me like a friend?

If I love you — don’t tear apart my tender heart

‘Cause I’ll see through you if you pretend.
