| WEAKENING HEART |
| I can't deny my feelings for you any longer Because every day they're just growing stronger. I've given you clues painted all over the place And my heart's grown too weak to give up the chase! I know you're shy and in more ways than one And if you've been after my heart, your job is done. I don't believe I've ever fallen in love so deep When I'm around you, my knees grow weak. I know more people than I know how I feel And I wish I could win your heart at free will. I've thought so much about giving you a call But then I realize I don't have the gall. I'm afraid that I can't stand on my own two feet And I pray that my heart's not gone down a one-way street! I fear so badly of how you'd react if I confessed to you That the rumors you've heard are so very true! My heart will never again be the same Because it's fallen for your presence and name. All I have left to say is accept me if only as a friend Because I will be loving you until the end!
