And I never would've known it baby
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
So let the waters carry us away
Wave goodbye to the old parade
Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be
All the waters wash our cares away
All that we can see are better days
Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be
