[Instrumental Into]
[Verse 1]
Baby, please lift up your head,
And try to see beyond the man
Who stands before your eyes.
Somewhere deep inside
You can see me as I am
And I think you’ll be surprised.
I understand your reservations.
Girl, we’ve both been hurt before,
And yet, it’s time to stop this hesitation
And take a chance at love once more.
[Chorus]
Baby, please believe me,
I will never steer you wrong.
Only you can save me.
I need your love to keep me strong.
I know you say you took one chance at love,
But maybe once just ain’t enough.
[Verse 2]
Baby, just give me a chance.
All I ask is for one night
To show what's goin' on.
You can end it any time
If you feel that it’s not right.
Just say the word, and I’ll be gone.
Girl, I’m waiting for your invitation.
Open up your heart and let me in.
I can help you deal with your frustration
If you’ll just try to love again.
[Chorus]
Baby, please believe me,
I will never steer you wrong.
Only you can save me.
I need your love to keep me strong.
I know you say you took one chance at love,
But maybe once just ain’t enough.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Baby, open up your heart.
See me reaching out my hand.
Girl, I’m waiting here for you.
Won’t you put your hand in mine?
You know that I can help you stand
And find the strength to make it through.
Girl, there can’t be any consolation
In saying that you once gave your all.
Why don’t you make love your destination,
And don’t be afraid to fall?
[Chorus]
Baby, please believe me,
I will never steer you wrong.
Only you can save me.
I need your love to keep me strong.
I know you say you took one chance at love,
But maybe once just ain’t enough.
