don't scare me, don't scare me   with talk of forever and always, just stay   don't scare me, don't scare me   with words like i love you, they haunt me some days   nobody knows better than me   that love is a fickle friend   who can give you up, give you up, give you up   without whisper or warning   give you up, give you up, give you up   and it scares me, scares me   don't tell me, don't tell me   that you'll take care of me forever and always   don't tempt me, don't tempt me   to trust you, oh how I long to some days   nobody knows better than me   that love is a fickle friend   who can give you up, give you up, give you up   without whisper or warning   give you up, give you up, give you up   and it scares me, scares me   and i would be the first to say   the best-laid plans can fail   i guess it's just like anything   where only time can tell   scare me   nobody knows better than me   that love is a fickle friend   who can give you up, give you up, give you up   without whisper or warning   give you up, give you up, give you up   and it scares me, scares me
