How Much Love

How can I tell you

To put it all in words

There is so much left to say

But the meaning slips away

How can I show you

To see it through my eyes

Don't deny that part of you

That's been dying for it too



(chorus)

--How do I know if I give you too much

Will I scare you away

How do I know when to leave you alone

When to beg you to stay

--I wanna know

Just how much love does it take

--to get to you

I stand here ready to break

--Tell me, tell me

--How much love does it take



Moment to moment

I don't know where it stands

Will I end up like the rest

Well it's anybody' guess

Can I persuade you

So softly in a touch

If it's all a waste of time

Well I'm only wasting mine



(chorus)



How do I know when to leave you alone

When to beg you to stay

--I wanna know



Just how much love does it take

To get to you

I stand here ready to break

Tell me, tell me

Just how much love does it take

It's up to you

I stand here ready to break

Tell me, tell me

Oh tell me, tell me

How much love does it take
