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
