Lyrics Patti LaBelle

Patti LaBelle

Finally Got The Nerve

Here you come, walking my way

So much inside me

I wanna say, I've been holding on

For the longest, longest time

And I finally got the nerve

To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve

I can't live without you

The nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve

I found the words to say, I've got the nerve

Can't wait another day, I've got the nerve

Don't wanna lose it this time

I'm trying to make

Tryin' to make a connection

But I'm afraid that there might be rejection on your part

It would break my heart in a million pieces

Can't go through it

(Through it)

Another day

I gotta let you know, I feel this way about you, baby

I dream about you in my life

And I finally got the nerve

To tel you how I feel about you, the nerve

I can't live without you, the nerve

I got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

When you walk by, my heart skips a beat

I contemplate the thought of you and me

I get weak for you

I can't get you off of my mind

I know I got to

(Got to)

Got to keep it real

'Cause you know how, you know how I feel

I'm wanting you and I'm needing you every day

And I finally got the nerve

To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve

I've got the nerve, the nerve

I've got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve

To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve

I can't wait another day, I got the nerve

Don't wanna lose it, don't wanna lose it this time
