Friendly stranger,
Look what you do to me.
Smilin' faces,
And I melt inside.
Singin' praises of your company,
I want to lay me down.
Stay all through the night.

You are too good to be
Wholly and totally mine.
You are too good to be
Slippin' away like a-wine.
And I'm waitin', prayin'
Skatin' on the edge of the line.
Let me down easy.
Let me down easy.

I want to make you love me,
And I want to make you smile,
And I want to be your family,
For just a little while.

I get frightened by the thunder,
And the lightnin' roars
Like a bullet in the pourin' rain.
I get heightened
By your wanderin' arms.
Lay me down,
Do it all over again.

You are too good to be

You are slippin' away,
And I'm makin' you stay,
And I'm waitin' for the sun to shine.
I go rollin' down the incline,
Holdin' on a lifeline,
Stoppin' on the edge of a dime.
Let me down easy.
Let me down easy.

I want to make you love me.
And I want to make you smile,
And I want to be your family,
Just a little while.

I want to make you love me.
And I want to make you smile,
And I want to be your family,
For just a little while.

I WANT TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
