[Verse 1:]
  My heart says we've got something real
  Can I trust the way I feel
  Cuz my heart's been through it before
  Am I'm just seeing what I want to see
  Or is it true
  Could you really be
    [Chorus:]
  Someone to have and hold
  With all my heart and soul
  I need to know
  Before I fall in love
  Someone who'll stay around
  (Who warns) my ups and downs
  So tell me now
  Before I fall in love
    [Verse 2:]
  And I'm at the point of no return
  So afraid of getting burned
  But I wanna take a chance
  Oh please
  Give me a reason to believe
  Say you're the one that you'll always be
    Someone to have and hold
  With all my heart and soul
  I need to know
  Before I fall in love
  Someone who'll stay around
  (Who warns) my ups and downs
  So tell me now
  Before I fall in love
    [Bridge:]
  It's been so hard for me
  To give my heart away
  But I would give my everything
  Just to hear you say...
    Someone to have and hold
  With all my heart and soul
  I need to know
  Before I fall in love
  Someone who'll stay around
  (Who warns) my ups and downs
  So tell me now
  Before I fall in love
