Love's a No

Alright - now we're alone
I know you're expecting me
To tell you all that I've been through
Oh sorry, it takes so long
And anyway, it's hurting me
So don't ask, it might hurt you too
Maybe I'm the fool
To turn down the love you're offering

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take

Sometimes - I get scared
Living on my own again
Some days I just want to cry
Memories won't set me free
Those memories of how it used to be

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take

No - it wasn't always like this
I used to be the one who was smart
I was a hard girl
I couldn't get caught - I was strong
Oh - but then I got hurt
How I got hurt
Oh darlin' - take a little time with me
Darlin' - take a little time
Just a little time

One day - I don't know when
Maybe we can try again
Maybe all I need is time
Hold me then say goodbye
Don't hate me - for all the things I've said

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon I know (my baby)
And just too much to take

Oh darlin' take a little time with me
Oh darlin' take a little time
Just a little time
