Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only
I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' so close to mine
Is there life
Without any fear
I need more
Than just what I want to hear
But I won't be afraid of the dark
If you love me
Always thinking of me
I know I must be blind
You better love me
You better love me
Better love me
Better love me
In my dreams
When all of the flowers die
A little girl but she doesn't need to cry
If my dream doesn't last through the night
You know I'm good
I'll never behave
In the storm
I ride every wave
And I won't even look to the shore
Is there life
Without any fear
I need more
Than just what I want to hear
But I won't be afraid of the dark
If you love me
Always thinking of me
I know I must be blind
You better love me
You better love me
Better love me
Better love me
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
Is there life
Without any fear
I need more
Than just what I want to hear
But I won't be afraid of the dark
If you love me
Always thinking of me
I know I must be blind
You better love me
You better love me
Better love me
Better love me
