I Couldn't Say Lyrics

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 you
I'll be around, after the lovin' is through

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

I couldn't say, I 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 makin' a big mistake

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 makin' me weak
But I've got to be strong
If right by you, I'm gonna do

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up bein' strangers?
We've got time, now let it pass
'Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end?

I couldn't say I 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 makin' a big mistake

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

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
'Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
I wanna do right by you baby
It's too big a move to make
We'd be makin' a big mistake

I couldn't say I 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 makin' a big mistake, yeah

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
'Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
Yeah baby, it's too big a chance to take
We'd be makin' a big mistake
