Love can’t grow

You spoke to me directly 
and looked at me right in the eyes. 
With my head in your lap resting on top of those thighs 
and your hands on my head holdin the sides of my head..

You said there was much work to be done, 
But none of this can work if I’m the only one
And baby, the love won’t grow if you decide to go

I can’t make you stay, no I can’t make you stay
But love can’t grow if you decide to go
No, love can’t grow if you decide to go 

And although we have so much to work on, I would love to be the one, to go on that journey, yes I’m the one, yes I’m the one..

And I would give it everything I got and not give up on love like that no, I would not give up like that 
And I would not leave like that no, I would not leave like that.
You’re too precious to me and I would love to see, love to see where things could gooo 
oh, but the love can’t grow if you decide to go no, the love can’t grow if you decide to go

So let’s both see where this can go
The potential is big, and you just don’t know

Oh, I would walk 100 miles, and keep on walkin
you’re in my heart and my head, I could hear you talkin 

Love, anything is possible and right now, I feel unstoppable, right now I’m feelin unstoppable..

Baby, I know there’s much work to be done
But the love can’t grow if you decide to go
Love can’t grow if you decide to go 

Oh oh oh love can’t grow if you decide to go
Love can’t grow no, we can’t grow if you decide to go..

[music fades..] ohh, love can’t grow if you decide to (no!)


[fading]
Love can’t grow (no)
Love can’t grow (oh)
Love can’t grow.. (oh)
