Ooh, in the outset
I knew there was pain
But all the upset lately
Of playing this game
Took its toll on me
I am within you
But with me you're free
It's the substraction purely
That helps me believe in the dark, oh
Maybe I'll ask you to hold my hand
Maybe I'll tell you all that I can
Or maybe you'll take me for all that I am
Well, maybe it'll make you a much better man
But...
When you choose to
Just leave me lightly
So I'm left with
More than I am
And my answer
Should you leave me lightly
So I don't think I'm less than I am
Oh baby, oh less than I am
Take a step closer
So I may take two
Don't think things over, baby
Just know what is true
In your eyes, ohh
Maybe I'll ask you to hold my hand
Maybe I'll show you all that I am
Oh, maybe I'll help you to understand
Well maybe it'll make you a much better man
But...
If you choose to
Just leave me lightly
So I'm left with
More than I am
And my answer
Should that you leave me lightly
So I don't think I'm less than I am
Well maybe I'll leave you
Or maybe I'll take time to lead you
Maybe I'll need room to cave
But I feel ashamed
That my shame will grow stronger
Every time I stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
If you choose to
Leave me lightly
I'll be left with
More than I am
And my answer
Should you leave me lightly
So I don't think I'm less than I am
If you choose to
Leave me lightly
So I don't think I'm less than I am
Oh, baby
Oh, less than I am, oh, less than I am, baby
