Don't Be Afraid
George Faith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love

Since we've been together baby
It hasn't been too long
But I slowly feel myself
Falling love again
And I want to give you more of what I have inside
But if I open up to you
Baby you got to love me too

Everytime I think about the time we spend together baby
Holding hands and making love
Long walks and morning talks
I can't believe you only thought
We were friends
Boy you can't pretend

Baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love
My baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love

Take some time to listen boy
It's not so hard to do
Why can't you understand
After all that we've been through
If you cut away your pride
And search within yourself
I know you'll change your mind
Cause I'll be with someone else

Baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love
My baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love

Everytime I think about the time we spend together baby
Holding hands and making love
Long walks and morning talks
I can't believe you only thought
We were friends
Boy you can't pretend

If I didn't have you baby
I don't know what I'd do
Cause you make me happy and I'm
Giving you all my love
I never want to be without you
I don't know what I'd do
Cause you make me happy so boy
Don't be afraid of my love

Baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love




My baby don't be afraid of
Afraid of my love
