Love's a No lyrics

All right, now we're alone

I know you're expecting me

To tell you

All that I've been through

Oh, sorry it takes so long

And anyway, it's hurting me

So don't ask

It might hurt you too

Maybe I'm the fool to turn down

The love you're offering

Thanks, but love's a no, my baby

There's too much at stake

It's too soon, I know, my baby

And just too much to take

Sometimes I get scared

Living on my own again

Some days

I just want to cry

Memories won't set me free

Those memories of how it used to be

Thanks, but love's a no, my baby

There's too much at stake

It's too soon, I know, my baby

And just too much to take

No, it wasn't always like this

I used to be the one who was smart

I was a hard girl

I couldn't get caught, I was strong

Oh, but then I got hurt

How I got hurt!

Oh, darlin', take a little time with me

Oh, darlin', take a little time

Just a little time

One day, I don't know when

Maybe we can try again

Maybe

All I need is time

Hold me, then say goodbye

Don't hate me for all the things I've said

Thanks, but love's a no, my baby

There's too much at stake

It's too soon, I know, my baby

And that's too much to take

Oh, darlin', take a little time with me

Oh, darlin', take a little time

Just a little time
