Second verse same as the first:


I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self-expression
I need that, too, I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine, sweet darling
It's a rich exchange it seems to me
It's a warm arrangement

Let them fall right on the ground
