Idon't Know How To Love Him
Helen Reddy · Other Songs - Helen Reddy
I've been changed, yes really changed,
In these past few days when I've seen myself, I seem like someone else,
I don't know how to take this, I don't see why he moves me,
He's a man! He's just a man!
And I've had so many men before in very many ways,
He's just one more!
Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout,
should I speak of love, let my feelings out,
I never thought I'd come to this,
Whats it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny, I should be in this position,
I'm the one, Who's always been,
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool. runing every show,
He scares me so!
I never thought I'd come to this!
whats it all about, whats it all about?
But if he said he loved me, I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away, I wouldn't want to know,
He scares me so, I want him so, I love him sooo!
