Don't be afraid of the way you feel
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's real love (boy)
Don't be afraid of the way you feel
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
It's real love
Ooh, oh, oh

I know it's not the first time
That you've ever felt this way before
Ooh, but those memories are still lasting
Of the pain you got for your trusting
So when love calls, you walk out the door
Ooh, but this time, boy

Don't be afraid of the way you feel
Don't be afraid, boy
Open your heart and you'll see it's real
Ooh, it's real love
Don't be afraid of the way you feel (oh, oh)
Don't be afraid now, baby
It's real love
Oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh

I'm not the one to hurt you, boy
And with love there's no real guarantee
If you believe in what you're feeling
And you wanna make love to me, oh, baby

Don't be afraid of the way you feel
Yeah, baby
(Open your heart and you'll see it's real) oh, oh, ooh, oh
(It's real love) it's time to do it right
(Don't be afraid of the way you feel) oh, I need you tonight
I need you right now
(It's real love) oh, oh
Now what you got to say, baby, yeah

Daring, you know it's hard for me sometimes to put my feelings into words
(Ooh, yeah)
And I know because of all the hurt in my past (boy) I intend to shy away
From emotional commitments
But what I feel for you is so real and so strong (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I couldn't walk away even if I wanted to
So baby, I'm yours

(Don't be afraid of the way you feel) ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, baby
Open your heart and you'll see it's real
Ooh, it's real love
Don't be afraid of the way you feel
I'm not the one who hurt you
(It's real love) so open, open, open, open
And give your love to me
(Don't be afraid of the way you feel) baby
(Open your heart and you'll see it's real) yeah, baby
