Tommy Shaw - Afraid To Love lyrics

Ever since I can remember, I've always had this image in my mind The way my mama and my daddy Seemed to lose that little twinkle in their eye Despite the fact love didn't last I can't live in the past No I don't wanna be afraid to love There's cheaters and mistreaters And the ones who end up beating all the odds There's screamers and deceivers And the ones who have been smiled upon by God there's those like me and you who rise above the deep dark blue I swear I'll never be afraid to love afraid to love, I've seen the high faltntin' reinvent the institution of romance They shot it full of loopholes where the seeds of love don't even stand a chance A little joy, a little pain like the sun shine like the rain I'll never be like them Afraid to love afraid to love afraid to love.
