First I rise. Then I fall.
Seems like you don't want
The love of this man at all.
And it's sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you.
So if you take a love like mine,
Ooh, be tender with my love.
You know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I've got,
And my love won't desert me.
So you say to yourself, "Boy,
You're out of your brain.
Do you think I'm gonna stand here
All night in the rain?"
And it's the start of a love affair:
The moment when I first met you.
And if you want, I'll take you there.
Ooh, be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I've got
And my love won't forsake me.
With my love, our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love, you made a promise
You'll always love me forever.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break it.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I got,
And my love won't forsake me.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break it.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I got,
And my love won't forsake me.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I've got,
And my love won't desert me.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break it.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'Cause it's all that I got,
And my love won't forsake me.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love.Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before
An' you swore this time you'd think with your head
No one, would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done
You'd decide where and when
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper, Promises In The Dark
Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head
Still you had to give in
Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, Promises In The Dark
But promises, you know what they're for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard
But your heart says try again
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper, Promises In The -- Dark
