Gotta Risk It All For Love-Update 1

Gotta risk it all for love (20181215)

I’ve had a thing for her            Since sometime way back when
But he’s been in the way         Since I was nine or ten
Settled for someone else         Who kinda made me smile
My heart just wasn’t there       She’s been gone for awhile

I’ve heard he’s leaving her        Or she’s escaping him
I can’t say I’m sorry                 I hope it’s not a whim
I know how rumors go             But I think this is real
Looks like I’ve got a chance      To tell her how I feel

(chorus)
If I told her how I feel,              Would I lose her as a friend?
Or if I spoke up too soon,        Would I make her sad again?
But if I spoke up too late          Would somebody else step in?
Gotta risk it all for love,            Though I might lose a friend.
Gotta risk it all for love             Today, until, the end!

Always been kind to her,           Treated her with respect.
But have I got a chance?           Don’t know what to expect
There’s something in her eyes,   It seems they want to say
“Better speak up your mind.      Or I’m not gonna stay!”

(repeat chorus)
