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 ever 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 (serious mood)
She is suddenly quite and shy

(Woo, leave a tender moment alone)
Leave a tender moment alone
(Ah) leave it alone
(Leave a tender moment 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 ever known
It's undeniably real
So, leave a tender moment alone
Yeah, yeah

(Ah, leave a tender moment alone)
Leave a tender moment alone, aah
(Leave a tender moment alone)

(You got to leave a tender moment, umm, leave me alone)
Leave a tender moment alone (ah)
Leave it alone
(Leave a tender moment alone) umm, yeah
(Ah, leave a tender moment alone)
(Ah, leave a tender moment alone)
