Don't use your gentle ways
To make me do the things
I know I shouldn't do
Don't use your soft-spoken words
To make the lies you're telling me
Sound true
Don't ever think
The loving tender touch
That's part of you
Will make me fall again
For the soft and gentle ways of you
Don't use your gentle ways
To make your burning kiss
To start a fire in me
I know I can't control
Don't use your misty eyes
Cause I won't fall
I've seen those tears before
Don't ever think
Because I know
I need your love
The way I do
You can make me give in
To the soft and gentle ways of you
Your wild kind of love
Still tears me apart
But it takes more
Than a warm embrace
To fill an empty heart
Don't think
Your gentle ways
Can just erase the fear
I have of loving you
And those soft-spoken words
Are empty sounds
There's nothing you can do
But don't use your gentle ways
Don't ever think
That I would walk away
From your love
If it were true
For then I'd gladly give in
To the soft and gentle ways
Of you
Soft and gentle ways
Soft and gentle ways
Of you
Soft and gentle ways
Soft and gentle ways
