Tearin'' me apart each lonely day
You can sooth my spirit with some of your lovin''
With you by my side we can make it OK
There''s a way of love with you
And I''m seeing the glow
All I need is understandin'' just to
Let me grow

I can''t tell you now ''bout all of my reasons
Burdens of this life have me in a trance
You can help unlock my other secrets
Though your warm embrace I give the
Good life a chance
There''s a way of love with you and I''m feelin'' it flow
All I need is understandin'' just to let me grow
Hold me - just a little tighter
''Cause when you hold me - I don''t have to fight it

I don''t want to sound like I''m full of self pity
''Cause that''s not the way I want it to be
All I need for now is your love to forget her
Love so sweet completely settin'' me free
There''s a way of love with you
And I''m seeing the glow
All I need is understandin'' just to
Let me grow

Hold me - just a little tighter
When you hold me - I don''t have to fight it
