"If You Think You Know How To Love Me" lyrics

If You Think You Know How To Love Me

A breathless drive
On a downtown street
A motor bike ride
In the midday heat

The dust that hung
From the desert skies
Run though we'd run
It still burned our eyes

Oh, yes, we may walk
On the wild, wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger
Close by your side

In the shadows of a promise
You can take my hand
And show me a way
To understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

A reckless night
In a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight
With a silent sound

A beach that wept
With deserted waves
That's where we slept
Knowing we'd be safe

Now you may think you can walk
On the wild, wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn
And a lot that I've yet to see

You know you've got my life
Lying in your hands
Something you to make me understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
