If you find me on your doorstep
will you treat me affectionately
Don’t take the soul right out of me

When you see me, don’t look through me
My eyes can barely take what I see
Don’t take the soul right out of me

I know and you know we never planned to fall in love this way
And even though I know I should go, my heart just cannot take it
I never seem to make it when I try to walk away
You know what that would do to me
Now don’t take the soul right out of me
