[Verse 1]
Baby, I saw you, standing all alone
In the moonlight, wishing as I may
And I might have just one night with you, pretty mama
Showdown, not ready but willing
To slow down, 'cause I want to please
I'll be around after the lovin' is through

[Pre-Chorus]
But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers?
We've got time, let it pass
'Cause how will we know
How far it will go?
Will it end?

[Chorus]
I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take 'cause
I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be making a big mistake

[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong
'Cause I want you
More than you know
But let me get to know you
Make my heart show
What my feelings show
Then I'll get closer to you
But I'm just so helpless
Against your touch
I'm defenseless
You're making me weak
But I've got to be strong
If right by you I'm gonna do

[Pre-Chorus]
But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers?
We've got time, let it pass
'Cause how will we know
How far it will go?
Will it end?

[Chorus]
I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take
I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be making a big mistake

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers?
We've got time, let it pass
'Cause how will we know
How far it will go?
Will it end?

[Chorus]
I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
'Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be making a big mistake

I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take
I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be making a big mistake, yeah

I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's to big a chance to take
We'd be making a big mistake
I couldn't say I'd love you tomorrow
