And give me one good reason

 6 -6   6     6 6   -5  6   5
Why I should never make a change.

 7-7 -7 -6   -6  6
Baby if you hold me

 6   -6  6   6    6  5-4 4 4
Then all of this will go away.

My friends and family, they

Don't understand.

 6    6     5     -5  5   -4  4
They fear they'd lose so much if

You take my hand.
