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 ever 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 quite and shy


Leave a tender moment alone
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 ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

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

You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment alone
