You, you say I'm too tough
But I only know what I've learned
Fall just once, and don't go down in flames
That's all it takes to get burned
I don't intend
To go through life all alone
Until I can find
A heart that's tender and strong
I'll make it on my own

I'm waiting for the first touch of love
Only a fool would expect me to fall
Before I feel the first touch of love
Give me a reason and I'll risk it all for love
...for love

You, you don't give me much
I couldn't get for myself
Just words, used up and tired
That I bought from somebody else
I'll let down my guard
When I believe what you say
You're trying too hard
You can't rush me this way
When it's right I'll stay

I'm waiting for the first touch of love
Only a fool would expect me to fall
Before I feel the first touch of love
Show me you're real and I'll show you my heart
I'm waiting for the first touch of love
Only a fool would expect me to fall
Before I feel the first touch of love
Give me a reason and I'll risk it all for love

I'll let down my guard
When I find someone to trust
You're pushing too hard
Sweet talk just ain't enough
What's the rush boy
