Lately I've been thinking you're the best thing that I've ever come across
And I don't care what all my friends say
So come on now and hold me dear I want to be your girlfriend not your boss
And I can't stand to see you weeping that way
So let me try to be gentle
Let me try to be fair
Don't say that you don't care when I know that you do
Let me try to be gentle
Gentle with you
Boy it makes me sick to think about the things I went and did to you
Where I come from they call that crazy
Boy it makes me weak to think about the things I went and put you through
My blindness never ceases to amaze me
So let me try to be gentle
Let me try to be fair
Don't say that you don't care when I know that you do
Let me try to be gentle
Gentle with you
Far away I know is
Where I've been
And I'll admit that I
Forgotten why
I ever looked for answers in
A foreign place
Answers in a foreign place
So lately I've been thinking you're the best thing that I've ever come across
And I don't care what all my friends say
So come on now and hold me dear I want to be your girlfriend not your boss
And I can't stand to see you weeping that way
So let me try to be gentle
Let me try to be fair
Don't say that you don't care when I know that you do
Let me try to be gentle
Gentle with you
