Lyrics:

Words have been spoken my heart has been broken But maybe not this time
Not with you and me
Love's understanding has always been nowhere to be seen But maybe not this time

Don't hurt my heart
Don 't try too hard to be big and strong Just sweetly release me

No rough hands can satisfy me Baby I bruise easily
So feel it from the heart And when you love me
Love me tenderly

Loving has hurt me
Deceived and spurned me
But maybe not this time 'Cos that was in the past
How I've been scared
To put my trust in something good that may not last But baby not this time

I know you won't hurt my heart
You won't try too hard to be big and strong Just sweetly make love to me
Lisa Stansfield Tenderly
