1. Unconditionally isn't too much to ask; Everything you give me you know I'm gonna give back; I'm just bein' honest, I want all this. CHO: So hold me like a lover, and love me like a child; And when I'm inconsolable, oh just let me run wild; I want to be the one, let there never be another; So hold me like a lover, oh and love me like a child. 2. Baby I feel safe when I'm in your arms; It's a peaceful place where I feel I belong; And I'm not afraid to say I need you. (CHORUS) (INSTRUMENTAL to 2 LINES OF CHORUS) I'm a walkin' contradiction, it's the truth, it's not fiction; But I don't think that it's too much to ask. (CHORUS - Modulate to next key) Hold me like a lover, oh and love me like a child.
