Lyrics I Don't Know How To Love Him - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sarah Brightman

I Don't Know How To Love Him

I don’t know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I’ve been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I’ve seen myself
I seem like someone else.
I don’t know how to take this
I don’t see why he moves me.
He’s a man, he’s just a man.
And I’ve had so many men before
In very many ways:
He’s just one more
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love — let my feelings out?
I never thought I’d come to this — what’s it all about?
Don’t you think it’s rather funny
I should be in this position?
I’m the one who’s always been
So calm, so cool, no lover’s fool
Running every show
He scares me so.
I never thought I’d come to this — what’s it all about
Yet, if he said he loved me
I’d be lost, I’d be frightened.
I couldn’t cope, just couldn’t cope.
I’d turn my head, I’d back away,
I wouldn’t want to know —
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
