I tried to tell you boy

It can't be tonight

It just isn't right

You've got to understand

When there's hesitation

You've got to be patient

It's not to win or lose

It's how you play

You've got to find a way

To make me stay

Oh can't you see

We're losing ground

You better slow it down

Or walk away

I'm not giving you my heart

Right from the start

I got to know

You're not learning to love from me

I got no secrets in the dark

Right from the start

I got to know you'll stay

Just 'cause I wanted you

Don't take advantage

Don't take me for granted

I need much more than this

Can't affection some real attention

It's not to win or lose

It's how you play

You've got to find a way

To make me stay

Oh can't you see

We're losing ground

You better slow it down

Or walk away

I'm not giving you my heart

Right from the start

I got to know

You're not learning to love from me

I got no secrets in the dark

Right from the start

I got to know you'll stay

I'm not giving you my heart

Right from the start

I got to know

You're not learning to love from me

I got no secrets in the dark

Right from the start

I got to know you'll stay

It's not to win or lose

It's how you play

You've got to find a way

To make mistakes

Oh can't you see

We're losing ground

You better slow it down

Or walk away

I'm not giving you my heart

Right from the start

I got to know

You're not learning to love from me

I got no secrets in the dark

Right from the start

I got to know you'll stay

I'm not giving you my heart

Right from the start

I got to know

You're not learning to love from me

I got no secrets in the dark

Right from the start

I got to know you'll stay
