| Lyrics | ||
| If you listen baby You can hear love calling What's the matter with you Why do you keep stalling Do you think that love Is something you can do without You keep thinkin' baby Love is danger waiting In the world that you have Always been creating You'll be left to wonder What it's really all about (Chorus)You gotta have courage Risk your pride and your heart You gotta have courage Better brave than smart Let's be honest baby You've been hurt before A broken heart's too painful and you can't ignore the awful truth of lies the awful bitterness of tears If you're waiting baby For some special magic To guarantee an outcome Something less than tragic You're just wasting time And you could be wasting years Turn the corner baby Leave your pain behind you Cause you know that one day I'll be there to remind you What you could have had And who you might have been Understand me baby I don't tend to scheme and my inclination isn't too extreme I just want to show you That my love will aways win Don't be afraid Of the love we've already made |

| Description | ||
| Short Song Description: An upbeat, stripped down jazz swing piece about having the courage to love someone, even when there are no guarantees. |
||
| Long Song Description: An upbeat, stripped down jazz swing piece about having the courage to love someone, even when there are no guarantees that things will work out. Better to be brave than smart. |
||
| Story Behind the Song: No story really. Just thinking about how all good things in life - love particularly - come with a certain amount of risk. Being completely risk-averse sounds like a recipe for unhappiness. |
