Walter Beasley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A love of your own
The longer it takes, the better you come to know
A love of your own
Don't you be afraid to give your heart
Never know till you try it, don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid, walk right on in
The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have
A love of your own
As far as you go, you're never too far behind
A love of your own
Don't you be afraid to shoot the moon
You'll never know till you try it, don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid to change your tune
The offer's always open, you know I'm always hopin'
You know I'm always hopin' for
A love of my own
To shelter me from the cold
A love of my own, a love of my own
The traffic will always be
A love of my own, yes [unverified]

You're never too far behind
