What If I Can't Give You Anything But Love?

I'll tell you my secrets And you'll do the same I'll lend you my name as an alias I'll take the moonlight falling on your face And the stars from up above What if I can't give you anything but love? Once hearing confession Was my profession Telling me things I don't need to know So he opened up that door for you The kind of thrill we'll never have What if I can't give you anything but love? Do you love me? It's dangerous to answer in the dark Do you need me? Hold on while I Negotiate that spark Anticipate an impulse, tell me what I'm supposed to do Do you want me? Do you want me? Like I want you… When this is over I'll go back to my wife I'm the man that she lives with in that other life When this is over I'll go back to your dreams But I'm not quite the man that I used to be I recall the moonlight falling on your face You are all that I adore What if I can't give you anything more? Don't you need me, Baby? Not one little bit? Don't fix me with that deadly gaze It's a little close to pity This time is overdue, tell me what I'm supposed to do Do you want me? Do you want me? Like I want you… Your eyes wouldn't meet me As we passed on the stairs The night's not all it's cracked up to be I recall the moonlight falling on your face And the stars from up above What if I can't give you anything but love? I recall the moonlight falling on your face The stars from up above What if I can't give you What if I can't give you What if I can't give you anything but love?
