"Catch My Breath" lyrics

I have to catch my breath
It scares me half to death that he might love me
I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way
I'd start to fade

I told him not to stay
And yet it is nice to hear him say, "Good morning"
And if I sent him home
We'd just be on the phone

I've always played to win
My game has always been
Be good at making love
But don't be in it

To fall is suicide
I've got to keep my pride
I know it's safe to hide
But wait a minute

'Cause when we're making love
I sometimes even say the words, "I love you"
It scares me half to death
I have to catch my breath
Catch my breath

I've always played to win
My game has always been
Be good at making love
But don't be in it

To fall is suicide
I've got to keep my pride
I know it's safe to hide
Wait a minute

I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way
I have to catch my breath

(I've always been afraid)
(No other way)
It scares me half to death

I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way
I have to catch my breath

No, no, no, no (I've always been afraid)
It scares me half to death
I've always been afraid
When someone felt that way
