To hold you tightly
Be with you nightly
Can I be the one?
[Verse 2]
Can I be the one?

Take my love and wear it for awhile
Take my heart, you can share it for awhile
Take every part of me and if you see that you don’t want it

Take every part of me and if you see that you don’t want it
Just give it back, at least we’ve tried
[Bridge]
I love you, can you wear it for awhile?
I love you, you can share it for awhile
Take every part of me and if you see that you don’t want it
Just give it back, at least we’ve tried
