"Give It Time to Be Tender" Lyrics

(Kris Kristofferson - Donnie Fritts)

I feel the hunger you feel in your touch
Burning my body and soul
And it's frightening just wanting somebody so much
So close to losing control.

But darling don't make me surrender too soon
I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender
And pretend it won't hurt at all.

Slowly be gentle each step of the way
I've never been loved before
Let me believe that you won't turn away
After you've opened the door.

But darling don't make me surrender too soon
I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender
And pretend it won't hurt at all.

Please give it time to be tender
And pretend it won't hurt at all...
