Letting Down My Guard

(album: Your Woman - 2001)

Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard

There's been times in the past
When true love is what I thought I had
But that wasn't the case
I wish I could erase
The times I've hurt so bad
And now I find myself, here with you
Just as nervous as can be
Trying to give love a chance to live inside of me
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard

I cannot lie
You more than caught my eye
I'm really liking what I see
And now that I know if you and I can grow
If I never let the past go

Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard

Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard

You seem like, your mama raised you right
It was nice of you to invite
Me out for a night on the town
And so far I like how you get down

Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard

Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
