If You Think You Know How to Love Me lyrics

A breathless drive on a downtown street

A motor-bike ride in the midday heat

The dust that hung from the desert skies

Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes

Oh yes, we may 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 a way to understand

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

Then 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

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
