The sooner you give
The sooner you get to have
A love of your own
The longer it takes
The better you come to know
A love of your own

Don't you be afraid
To give your heart
You never know til you try it
Don't deny it to yourself

Don't you be afraid
To walk right on in
The door is standing open
You know I'm always hoping

Ooooh hoping
Ooooh ooh

The sooner you give
The sooner you get to have
A love of your own
As far as you go
You're never too far behind
A love of your own

Don't you be afraid
To shoot the moon
You never know til you try it
Don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid
To change your tune

The heart was always open
You know I'm always hoping
You know I'm always hoping
For...

A love of my own
To shelter me from the cold
A love of my own
Oooh
A love of my own
The topic will always be
A love of my own
Oh yes it will
A love of my own
Your never too far behind
A love of your own
You never know

(Instrumental Interlude)

Ooooh
A love of my own
To shelter me from the cold
A love of my own

A love of my own
The topic will always be
A love of my own

A love of my own
Oh never to far behind
A love of your own

Keep on going til you find
A love of your own
(A love of your own)
A love of your own

(Adlib to the end)
