Give It Time to Be Tender (with Rita Coolidge)

I feel the hunger, you feel in your touch

Burning my body and soul

And it's frightenin' just wantin' somebody so much

So close to losing controlBut darling don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at allSlowly be gentle each step of the way

I've never been loved before

Let me believe, you won't turn away

After I've opened the doorBut darling don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all
