Even though Im in love
Sometimes I get so afraid
Ill say something so wrong
Just to have something to say

I know the moment isnt right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess Im just frightened out of my mind

But if thats how I feel
Then its the best feeling Ive even known
Its undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

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

If the girl gets too close
If I need some room to escape
When the moment arose
Id tell her its all a mistake

But thats not how I feel
No thats not the woman Ive known
Shes undeniably real
So leave a tender moment alone

But its not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when Im in a serious mood
She is suddenly quiet and shy

Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone

I know the moment isnt right
To hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonight
Ive run out of places to hide

And if thats how I feel
Then its the best feeling Ive even known
Its undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

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