(Joe Allison - Roy Clark)



Don't smother your love with small questions

Design for your own reassurance

Don't think of your love as just being

Some kind of love some insurance.



Grow up but let her grow with you

Stand by her side right or wrong

I didn't find these things out soon enough

And I have been lonesome too long.



Don't let yourself think that you own her

But stand by yourself by her side

Be honest with strenght and with weakness

Be careful of ego and pride.



Be firm but learn to be gentle

Lead her but don't tag along

I didn't find these things out soon enough

And I have been lonesome too long...
