TENDER HEART Can't help but wonder what it is about love, anyway Brings out the boy within the man? Keep on believing though I'm standing out in the rain again Some things I still don't understand. You've got me dreaming with your promises of a better day I'm hoping this dream will come true It won't be long before I'm walking out on the wire again Just one thing before I do. If I give you my tender heart - my tender heart Will you stand by me like a friend? If I love you - don't tear apart my tender heart 'Cause I'll see through you if you pretend. I long for love until I see it when it isn't there That kind of hurt takes time to heal (I'm looking for the real thing now) Now there's a voice inside that's warning me It says 'take care. Are you sure that this is real?' If I give you my tender heart - my tender heart Will you stand by me like a friend? If I love you - don't tear apart my tender heart 'Cause I'll see through you if you pretend.
