"Catch My Breath" Lyrics

I have to catch my breath
It scares me half to death that she might love me
I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way, I'd start to fade.

I told her not to stay
And yet it is nice to hear her say good morning...
And if I sent her home, we'd just be on the phone.

I've always played to win, my game has always been
Be good in making love but don't be in it
To fall is suicide, I've got to keep my pride
I know it's safe to hide, but wait a minute...

'Cause when we're makin' love
I sometimes even say the words "I love you"
It scares me half to death I have to catch my breath
Catch my breath!

But wait a minute...
'Cause when we're makin' love (Catch my breath)
I sometimes even say the words "I love you"
It scares me half to death I have to catch my breath
Catch my breath!
I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way I have to catch my breath
And if I sent her home, we'd just be on the phone.
I have to catch my breath
To fall is suicide, I've got to keep my pride
It scares me half to death I have to catch my breath
Yeah, it's so bad it scares me half to death
No, no, baby,
I've got to catch my breath...
