Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

Give It Time to Be Tender

I feel the hunger you feel in your touch

Burnin' my body and soul

And it's freightnin' just wantin' somebody so much

So close to losin' control

But darlin', don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend that it won't hurt at all

Slowly, be gentle

Each step of the way

I've never been loved before.

Let me believe

You won't turn away

After I've opened the door

But darlin', don't make me surrender too soon

I'm so afraid of the fall

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all

Please give it time to be tender

And pretend it won't hurt at all
