If You Think You Know How To Love Me (US Version)

(album: Wild Horses – The Nashville Album - 1998)

Breathless drive on a downtown street
Motorbike ride in the midday heat
The dust that hung from a desert sky
Run though we'd run it still burned out eyes
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild side of life
And our movements traced bay a stranger
Close by our side

In the shadow of a promise you can take my hand
And show me a way to understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And if you think you know what I need
And if you really really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

So if you think you know how to love me
And if you think you can stand by me
And if you really really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe

Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side of life
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that
I've yet to see
You've got my life lying in your hands
So it's up to you to make me understand
So if you think you know how to love me...
