What If I Can't Give You Anything But Love?

Lyrics

I'll tell you my secrets
 And you'll do the same
 I'll lend you my name as an alias
 I'll take the moonlight falling on your face
 And the stars from up above
 What if I can't give you anything but love?
 ♪
 Once hearing confession was my profession
 Telling me things I don't need to know
 So he opened up that door for you
 The kind of thrill we'll never have
 What if I can't give you anything but love?
 ♪
 Do you love me? It's dangerous to answer in the dark
 Do you need me? Hold on while I negotiate that spark
 Anticipate an impulse, tell me what I'm supposed to do
 Do you want me? Do you want me like I want you?
 ♪
 When this is over I'll go back to my wife
 I'm the man that she lives with in that other life
 When this is over I'll go back to your dreams
 But I'm not quite the man that I used to be
 I recall the moonlight falling on your face
 You're all that I adore
 What if I can't give you anything more?
 Don't you need me, baby? Not one little bit?
 Don't fix me with that deadly gaze, it's a little close to pity
 This time is overdue, tell me what I'm supposed to do
 Do you want me? Do you want me like I want you?
 ♪
 Your eyes wouldn't meet me as we passed on the stairs
 The night's not all it's cracked up to be
 I recall the moonlight falling on your face
 And the stars from up above
 What if I can't give you anything but love?
 I recall the moonlight falling on your face
 The stars from up above
 What if I can't give you, what if I can't give you
 What if I can't give you anything but love?
