"Be Gentle With Me" Written by Andrea Ross-Greene I’ve been hiding in the shadows For a long, long time Like the cat who looks in from outside Longing to be in there Where it’s safe and warm And its hunger is satisfied If I come in from the cold and reach for you Would you grant me this one request Be gentle with me 'Cause I break easily I’m not looking for a one-night stand I’m holding out for a long-time man Be gentle with me The rules have changed In this man/woman game And I’m not sure I know how to play Love has called a time or two But I wasn’t there or was I looking away If I come in from the cold and reach for you Would you grant me this one request Be gentle with me 'Cause I break easily I’m not looking for a one-night stand I’m holding out for a long-time man Be gentle with me I’ve been torn up, broken down Brushed off, swept away I’ve been looked over, held under That’s why I’m asking today If I come in from the cold and reach for you Would you grant me this one request Be gentle with me 'Cause I break easily Anyone can have a one-night stand I’m holding out for that long-time man Be gentle with me Be gentle with me Please, be gentle with me | Buy the CD or Download: |
