Can'T Stand To Lose

I want you but I'm so afraid
What if I make a wrong move
I can't stand to lose
I've got to make this work
I don't want to get hurt

When I see you
Joy comes naturally
Just so perfect to my eye
So perfect
Too great of a guy
Too good to ever be mine
Oh oh

I might have fallen too easily
Let myself go
But I just want you to know
I want you
I want to be with you
Say "yes"
I can't stand to lose

I want you but I'm so afraid
What if I make a wrong move
I can't stand to lose
I've got to make this work
I don't want to get hurt

I want you but I'm so afraid
I don't get like this
Is it some kind of voodoo
What if I make a wrong move
I've spent too long bleeding 
I can't stand to loose
I've got to make this work
I don't want to get hurt

I want you but I'm so afraid
I don't get like this
Is it some kind of voodoo
What if I make the wrong move

Just do it..any fear is always worse than the reality!

.. very nice writing, and its so true, when a person is falling in love, they want to do all the right things, sometimes a person even hides the real them in fear... I have done that but can never keep it up, and the real me is revealed.. but I think in a real relationship you should be accepted and loved with no fear of rejection
