You know that there's an achin' deep inside me
Tearin' me apart each lonely day
You can sooth my spirit with some of your lovin'
With you by my side we can make it OK
There's a way of love with you
And I'm seeing the glow
All I need is understandin' just to
Let me grow

I can't tell you now 'bout all of my reasons
Burdens of this life have me in a trance
You can help unlock my other secrets
Though your warm embrace I give the
Good life a chance
There's a way of love with you and I'm feelin' it flow
All I need is understandin' just to let me grow
Hold me - just a little tighter
'Cause when you hold me - I don't have to fight it

I don't want to sound like I'm full of self pity
'Cause that's not the way I want it to be
All I need for now is your love to forget her
Love so sweet completely settin' me free
There's a way of love with you
And I'm seeing the glow
All I need is understandin' just to
Let me grow

Hold me - just a little tighter
When you hold me - I don't have to fight it
