Ever since I can remember,
I've always had this image in my mind
The way my mamma and my daddy
seemed to lose that little twinkle in their eyes
Despite the fact love didn't last
I can't live in the past
No I don't wanna be afraid to love
There's cheaters and mistreaters
and the ones you end up beating all the odds
there's screamers and deceivers
and the ones who have been smiled upon by God
there's those like me and you
who rise above the deep dark blue
I swear I'll never be afraid to love
afraid to love,
I've seen the high falutin'
reinvent the institution of romance
They shot it full of loopholes
where the seeds of love don't even stand a chance
a little joy, a little pain
like the sunshine like the rain
I'll never be like them
Afraid to love
afraid to love
afraid to love.
