Da-da, di-da, do-ah Di-da, ooh-ahh Do-do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da-da

I'm afraid I'm starting to feel, What I said I would not do

The last time really hurt me, I'm scared to fall in love

Afraid to love so fast, 'Cause every time I fall in love, It seems to never last, 

But every time your love is near, And every time I'm filled with fear

'Cause every time I see your face, My heart does begin to race every time

One half wants me to go, One half wants me to stay

I just get so all confused, I'm scared to fall in love, Afraid to love so fast, 

'Cause every time I fall in love, It seems to never last

But every time your love is near, And every time I'm filled with fear

'Cause every time, ahh. My heart does begin to race every time

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

I'm scared to fall in love, Afraid to love so fast

'Cause every time I fall in love, It seems to never last

But every time your love is near, And every time I'm filled with fear

'Cause every time I see your face, My heart does begin to race every time

It's every time, it's every time 'cause, Every time your love is near

And every time I'm filled with fear, 'Cause every time I see your face

Could it be that this will be the one that lasts?, The fear does start to erase every time

Oh, could it be that this will be the one that lasts? For all my times

Ooh, yeah For all my times
