Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Baby don't be afraid of
Don't let fear hold you back
Afraid of my love
Be afraid of the possibility that love brings
Since we've been together baby
Although not much time has passed since we've been together
It hasn't been too long
It hasn't been a long time
But I slowly feel myself
I feel myself falling in love
Falling love again
Falling in love all over again
And I want to give you more of what I have inside
I have feelings for you and I want to express them
But if I open up to you
If I reveal my true feelings to you
Baby you got to love me too
You need to reciprocate my feelings
Every time I think about the time we spend together baby
Thinking about the moments we share together
Holding hands and making love
Sharing physical intimacy
Long walks and morning talks
Sharing personal conversations
I can't believe you only thought
Surprised by your lack of understanding
We were friends
I thought our relationship was more than just friendship
Boy you can't pretend
Don't try to hide your true feelings
Take some time to listen boy
Make an effort to hear me out
It's not so hard to do

After all that we've been through
After everything we've experienced together
If you cut away your pride
If you forget your ego
And search within yourself
Look inside yourself for answers
I know you'll change your mind
I believe you will reconsider
Cause I'll be with someone else
Because I'll move on if you can't reciprocate my feelings
If I didn't have you baby
If you weren't in my life
I don't know what I'd do
I cannot imagine what life without you would be like
Cause you make me happy and I'm
You bring joy to my life
Giving you all my love
I am fully committed to you
I never want to be without you
I cannot imagine a life without you
My baby don't be afraid of
Don't be scared to embrace my love
Afraid of my love
Be fearful of love's potential impact
