Joan Armatrading - Innocent Request lyrics

I know the place where lovers go
You wanna take me there I know
Cos you believe in me and I believe in you
But there's other things

I don't want you to think
That our love is going under
Just need time for me
And my thoughts to freely wander
This troubled world and I worry for myself
Where lies my destiny
Every person feels their strength
Now and then they doubt their worth
Friendships bond boys and girls
Sisters, brothers lovers, too
But we need some air to find ourselves
Find ourselves

And there's no need for guilt
It's an innocent request
You get space to breathe
And I get time to think when we're apart
We appreciate our love i know it

Life is more than fairy tales sometimes sad
Sometimes frail you owe it to yourselves
To take a moment to reflect

Don't think that our love is going under
Just need time for me
And my thoughts to freely wander
This troubled world and I worry
Where lies my destiny when we're apart
We appreciate our love
We know we've got the best we know it
