Don’t Love Me

Don’t love me

Just care for me

Don’t love me

Simply feed me.

Wipe my tears

Don’t send me flowers

Erase my fears

And give me a few hours.

Don’t love me

Smile with me

Don’t love me

Entertain me.

If you wipe my tears

If you erase my fears

Then I will realize that you love me

And you’re my rock and my reality.

Don’t love me

Simply hold my hands tight

Don’t love

Just be my beacon and my light.

Talk nice to me

Sing a song for me

Make me strong and whole

And be my heart and my soul.

Oh! If you do all that and more

Then I will open the big door

Of my heart to welcome and to love you

'Cause I’ll have proof that your love is true.
