Give It Time to Be Tender

(Kris Kristofferson - Donnie Fritts)



I feel the hunger you feel in your touch

Burning my body and soul

And it's frightening just wanting somebody so much

So close to losing control.



But darling don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all.



Slowly be gentle each step of the way

I've never been loved before

Let me believe that you won't turn away

After you've opened the door.



But darling don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all.



Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all...
