Love
Takes hold of me once more
Fear
Takes hold of you for sure
Don't you walk away
No, I don't mean to scare you
How could I?
I want you for myself
No, I don't want to share you
Why should I?

Love
It takes hold of me
The tears come down so easily
My love
It's all because of you
And only you

Don't you walk away
No, I don't mean to scare you
How could I?
I want you for myself
No, I don't want to share you
Why should I?

Down by the river
Behind the boathouse
I took her to where the noise was too loud
Won't be disturbed by anyone
We'll love so easily

Love
It had to come to this
Pray
Do what you think is best
Don't you fuck with me
I don't mean to scare you
How could I?
I want you for myself
No, I don't want to share you
Why should I?

Down by the river
I showed my secret
I knew that she'd find it hard to keep it
Cut the tension with a knife
The blade is sharp and fine

Don't run away
No, I don't mean to scare you
I just don't want to share you
Why should I?
Love
It had to come to this
Love
It had to come to this

Don't you run away
Now, I don't meant to scare you
How could I?
I want you for myself
No, I don't want share you
Why should I?

Love
It took hold of me
The tears came down so easily
My love
It's because of you
And only you

Down by the river
Behind the boathouse
I took her to where the noise was too loud
Weren't disturbed by anyone
We loved so easily

Down by the river
I showed my secret
I knew that she'd find it hard to keep
Cut the tension with a knife
The blade was sharp and fine

You had to run away
I didn't mean to scare you
I just didn't want to share you
Why should I?
I wanted you for myself

You just went too far
I didn't want to share you
I didn't think it's fair to
Why should I?
I wanted you for myself

You had to fuck with me
You got what you deserved
Another lesson taught
Another lesson learned
How could I?
