When I first made love,
I was seventeen.
When you say, “I love you,”
And you don’t know what it means.
There’s no way of knowing-
In the confidence of youth.
How much we were lying-
And how much was the truth.
But I found you-
Though I thought I never would-
I found you.
What took you so long?
And I don’t love you ’cause you’re beautiful.
I don’t love you ’cause you’re good to me.
I don’t love you ’cause you make me feel like a man.
I love you, because you know who I am.
Letting go of reason-
Is the hardest thing to do.
You don’t choose who you love-
It chooses you.
In the promise of a lover-
Never be contained.
When it finally touches you-
You’ll never be the same.
But I found you-
After all of my searching-
I found you.
It’s more than I deserve.
And I don’t love you ’cause you’re beautiful.
I don’t love you ’cause you’re good to me.
I don’t love you ’cause you make me feel like a man.
I love you, because you know who I am-
I love you, because you know who I am.
