Kris Kristofferson
Give It Time to Be Tender

[Verse 1]
I feel the hunger you feel in your touch
Burning my body and soul
And it's frightening just wanting somebody so much
So close to losing control

[Chorus]
But darlin', don't make me surrender too soon
I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender
And pretend that it won't hurt at all

[Verse 2]
Slowly, be gentle each step of the way
I've never been loved before
Let me believe you won't turn away
After I've opened the door

[Chorus]
But darlin', don't make me surrender too soon
I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender
And pretend it won't hurt at all

[Outro]
Please give it time to be tender
And pretend it won't hurt at all
