If You Think You Know How To Love Me

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A breathless drive on a downtown street

Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat

The dust that hung from the desert skies

Run, though we run it still burned our eyes

Oh, yes we can walk on the wild, wild side of life

And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side

And in the shadows of a promise, you can take my hand

And show me the way to understand

Chorus:

So if you think you know how to love me

And you think you know what I need

And if you really, really want me to stay

You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me

And you think you can stand by me

And if you really, really want me to stay

You've got to lead the way

A reckless night in a nameless town

And we moved out of sight, with a silent sound

A beach that wept with deserted waves

That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe

Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me

But there's a lot I can learn, and a lot that I've yet to see

You know you've got my life lying in your hands

It's up to you to make me understand

(repeat chorus twice)

So if you think you know how to love me

And you think you know what I need

And if you really, really want me to stay

You've got to lead the way
