(Diane Warren And Michael McDonald)

I know that you're afraid to love

You've been hurt before

Love broke your heart so you closed the door

Now here I am outside your world,

Wishin' you'd let me in

Give me half a chance to prove you wrong

Baby all your tears have come and gone

Talkin' 'bout a brand new start



Take it to heart, baby believe it

This love is so strong that it won't let you go

Baby hold on, you'll see just how good it's gonna be

It's gonna be here long as you need it

Never take your world and tear it apart

Take it to heart baby



You're gonna have to trust someone

It's a shame if you don't

Because it ain't no life living all alone

Let me show you how to love again

There's no broken heart that love won't mend

Talkin' 'bout a brand new start



I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side

So take this love of mine

Take it to heart



Baby believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong baby



(love is a second chance to find all that we lost

Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost

I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone

Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong)
