One day I didn't have a care
Except my picture in the mirror and the color of my hair
I sang along to records about tomorrow
Now my hands are worn, my clothes are torn
A lot of my dreams have met with scorn
And I don't have too much time left to borrow
But still I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
Gonna open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I've never been hurt
We can start all over and know what it's worth
Love you like I've never been hurt before
Your stubborn independence
Reminds me of myself
It doesn't make a lot of sense
It isn't very good for health
I know you want to be alone
But I sure like talking on the phone
And I've finally left my carry-on bag behind me
Yeah I'm going to love you like I've never been hurt before
Open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I've never been hurt
We can start all over and know what it's worth
I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'll start at the beginning
My fear has got no chance of winning
My pride is not what's deep inside
And I don't wanna hide anymore
So I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
Open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I've never been hurt
We can start all over and know what it's worth
Love you like I've never been hurt before
