Even though i'm in love
sometimes i get so afraid
i'll say something so wrong
just to have something to say
I know the moment isn't right
to tell the girl a comical line
to keep the conversation light
i guess i'm just frightened out of my mind
But if that's how i feel
then it's the best feeling i've even known
it's undeniably real
leave a tender moment alone
Yes i know i'm in love
but just when i ought to relax
i put my foot in my mouth
cause i'm just avoiding the facts
If the girl gets too close
if i need some room to escape
when the moment arose
i'd tell her it's all a mistake
But that's not how i feel
no that's not the woman i've known
she's undeniably real
so leave a tender moment alone
But it's not only me
breaking down when the tension gets high
just when i'm in a serious mood
she is suddenly quiet and shy
Leave a tender moment
leave it alone
I know the moment isn't right
to hold my emotions inside
to change the attitude tonight
i've run out of places to hide
And if that's how i feel
then it's the best feeling i've even known
it's undeniably real
leave a tender moment alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
leave a tender moment
leave it alone
you've got to leave a tender moment
leave a tender moment alone
