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

Loving 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
