This Doesn't Have to Be Love

Softly, love is standing here with its demands

(Tell me what you want from me, you want from me)

Slowly, I think I'm letting go of all my plans

(Tell me where we're goin' to, we're goin' to)

Why, why am I afraid to give into this

Why am I afraid?

This doesn't have to be love

But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear.

This doesn't have to be anything at all,

So hard to fall (from this high above)

But do we have to call it love?

I hold back, from everything I really want to say

(Should I let my guards down, my guards down, my guards down)

I don't, I don't make commitments that could break

(Maybe it's just too late, it's just too late)

I, I'm so afraid to give into this

I'm so afraid, Oh

This doesn't have to be love

But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear.

This doesn't have to be anything at all,

So hard to fall (from this high above)

But do we have to call it love?

Need a little time to think things through, Baby

Do I really want to give myself, give all myself to you, now?

I can't believe it's happening so fast

'Cause I don't want to bring back what I left in the past, No.

This doesn't have to be love

But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear.

This doesn't have to be anything at all,

So hard to fall (from this high above)

But do we have to call it love?

So hard to fall...in love

This doesn't have to be...love

(Love, love is all I feel...your love is what I fear)

Love me...love me

So hard to fall

So very hard to fall.
