[Verse 1: Eric Roberson] To know you is to need you To write you and read you To see you is to want you To somehow confront you But I know the dangers Of having what my heart beats so much of I know the dangers of love [Hook: Phonte] My sweet marzipan You come as fast as you can Of love's sweetest candy, why waste it? You might not taste it again [Verse 2: Eric Roberson] To know you is to fear you I've got to be near you You shook me, and saved me With love that you gave me You gave me a reason To get up in the morning You gave me a reason to smile [Hook] [Guitar and horn solo] [Verse 3: Eric Roberson] To know you is to love Place nothing above you You have me, you hold me You bought me and sold me But I know the dangers Of having what my heart beats so much of I know the dangers of love [Hook]
