If you love me like you tell me
Please be careful with my heart
You can take it just don't break it
Or my world will fall apart

You were my first romance
And I'm willing to take a chance
That 'til life is through
I'll still be loving you

I will be true to you
Just a promise from you will do
From the very start
Please be careful with my heart

I love you and you know I do
There'll be no one else for me
Promise I'll be always true
For the world and all to see

Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I've been burned and I've been hurt before

So I know just how you feel (how I feel)
Trust my love is real for you (I hope that your love is real)
I'll be gentle with your heart
I'll caress it like the morning dew

I'll be right beside you forever
I wont let our world fall apart
From the very start
I'll be careful with your heart

You are my first (and you are my last) romance
And I'm willing to take a chance
(I've learned from the past)
That 'til life is through
I'll still be loving you

I will be true (I will be true) to you
Just a promise from you will do (only to you)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start
Please be careful with (I'll be careful with) my heart (your heart)
