Don't want to fall in love
Don't want to fall in love again
You don't know where I've been
Don't want to fall in love again

I will not fall
Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride?

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love, tell me now
And if you need my love, I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again

Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall?
Tell me why, yeah, why do they fall?
Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love, tell me now
And if you need my love, I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again

Pick it up, alright
Ooh yeah
I should have known it all along
I should have know that I

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love, tell me now
And if you need my love, I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again

So if you want my love, no need to ask
And if you need my love, forget the past
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
