Ev-en though I'm in love
Some-times I get so a-fraid
I'll say some-thing so wrong
Just to have some-thing to say
I know the mo-ment is-n't right
To tell the girl a com-ic-al line
To keep the con-ver-sa-tion light
I guess I'm just fright-ened out of my mind
But if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feel-ing I've ev-er known
It's un-de-ni-a-bly real
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
Yes I know I'm in love
But just when I ought to re-lax
I put my foot in my mouth
Cause I'm just a-void-ing the facts
If the girl gets too close
If I need some room to es-cape
When the mo-ment a- rose
I'd tell her it's all a mis-take
But that's not how I feel
No that's not the wom-an I've known
She's un-de-ni-a-bly real
So leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
But it's not on-ly me
Break-ing down when the ten-sion gets high
Just when I'm in a ser-i-ous mood
She is sud-den-ly qui-et and shy
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
Leave a ten-der mo-ment
I know the mo-ment is-n't right
To hold my e-mo-tions in-side
To change the at-ti-tude to- night
I've run out of plac-es to hide
And if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feel-ing I've ev-er known
It's un-de-ni-a-bly real
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
