i can't pretend i wasn't lonely
solitude was all i knew
i was so afraid of pain
so afraid to let love in my life again
you don't have to be an angel
hmm
i'll accept you as you are
loving you for love's own sake
let me hold your heart
and it will never break
i do understand
i do understand
a woman and a man
a woman and a man
strength in tenderness
there's a power in love
you have given me
it's the greatest gift
the vision now to see
oh
i believe in love
just because of you
we both know life isn't easy
we've been around a block or two
i know where i need to be
i know enough to know that i'm in love
i know enough to know it's you
i do understand
i do understand
a woman and a man
a woman and a man
strength in tenderness
there's a power in love
you have given me
oh the greatest gift
the vision now to see
i believe in love
just because of you
i can look at you
and see right through
you're a part of me you live
inside me
there's a magic in
it's a basic need
a woman and a man
even when you're not within my sight
i can feel you in my life
i do understand
a woman and a man
strength in tenderness
there's a power in love
you have given me
the vision now to see
i believe in love
just because of you
i believe in love
just because of you
oh
