You can smother me with kisses and feel free to let your tender arms surround me
|
You can love me without fear but don't come here
|
And try to build no dreams around me
|
A man's a fool who looks for love for one time in a lifetime he might find it
|
So don't waste no time a talkin' about how love can hurt cause I don't need reminded
|
I'll take my happiness a little at a time just anywhere I find it
|
Try to feel at home just knowing that should you decide to leave I wouldn't mind it
|
And when you're gone I'll not recall a love that only lived one night and died
|
Just a mem'ry of what little happiness we found together when we tried
|
|
I can almost read your mind and what I find's not hard for me to understand
|
Cause a woman's love is stronger one remembers even longer than a man
|
And if I should even feel that you're pretending that I'm her I wouldn't mind it
|
If there's any happiness left in a lonely world like this let's try to find it
|
I'll take my happiness...
