Even though i'm in love
Sometimes i get so afraid
I'll say something so wrong
Just to have something to say

I know the moment isn't right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess i'm just frightened out of my mind

But if that's how i feel
Then it's the best feeling i've even known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

Yes i know i'm in love
But just when i ought to relax
I put my foot in my mouth
Cause i'm just avoiding the facts

If the girl gets too close
If i need some room to escape
When the moment arose
I'd tell her it's all a mistake

But that's not how i feel
No that's not the woman i've known
She's undeniably real
So leave a tender moment alone

But it's not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when i'm in a serious mood
She is suddenly quiet and shy

Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone

I know the moment isn't right
To hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonight
I've run out of places to hide

And if that's how i feel
Then it's the best feeling i've even known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
You've got to leave a tender moment
Leave a tender moment alone
