Chance To Grow
Wendy & Lisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So suspicion attracts revenge
Then there's no communication
When we fall, by the wayside
Hold me up, don't bring me down
Take all the room to build this love
Don't build it up to tear it down
That everybody needs a chance to grow
There's a love on the wing
I swear this time is really it
When you tell me you, love me
No need to go, put yourself above me
Hold me up, don't bring me down
Take all the room to build this love
Don't build it up to tear it down
You plant the seed in love, you've found
That everybody needs a chance to grow
Hold me up, don't bring me down
Take all the room to build this love
Don't build it up to tear it down
You plant the seed in love, you've found
Oh, hold me up, don't bring me down
Take all the room to build this love
'Cause everybody needs a chance to grow
