If You Don't Want Me To

This is the time
This is the place
So don't hold back
I need to feel your warm embrace
Ever so tenderly and oh baby

There's no time for hatred
There's no time for war
And there's no anger in my body anymore
'Cause I have learned to love
Learned to love again

No, I won't fall to pieces
No, I won't be that way
Cause I have tasted freedom
In the things I say

Can I hold you close
Let me feel you near
And I will never let you go
If you don't want me to

Just say the word
And I will be there for you darlin'
You know I hunger for your touch
And there's no time for sadness
And there's no time for pain
And there's no time for sorrow
I'm free again
And I will be this way
Forever, and ever and ever

Can I hold you close

Here is the body
Let's break the bread
Let's drink the wine from a cup of happiness
And I will never leave you
In winter, spring or fall
'Cause I have grown to love,
Each day I love you more
Cause I have always been
The one you've been waiting for

No, I won't fall to pieces
No, I won't be that way

If you don't want me to
If you don't want me to
If you don't want me to

This is the time
This is the place
So don't hold back
I need to feel your warm embrace

There's no time for hatred
And there's no time for war
There's no anger in my body anymore
'Cause I have always been
The one you've been waiting for
I will never let you go
If you don't me to
