"I Don't Know" lyrics

"I Don't Know"
(originally by Ruth Brown)

Should I let myself go
In his direction?
Is his love strong enough
For my heart's protection?

I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
But he loves me so good 'til I think I... I should, oh

If I gave him my heart
Would he refuse it?
Would he tear it apart
Or tenderly use it?

I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
But he hugs me so tight 'til I think I might, oh

When he crushes my eager lips
My heart starts doing flips
Whenever I feel his touch
I get a thrill of that's a much
Too much, too much, too much, too much

Could a heart so right
Be led so wrong?
If his loving is weak
Would it last this long?

I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know)
But I hope and I pray that he comes my way, oh
I hope and I pray that he comes my way, oh
I hope and I pray that he comes my way, oh
