Dolly Parton Lyrics
"Teach Me to Trust"

(Dolly Parton - Gene Golden)

Maybe because it's too good to be true
Maybe because I want it so much
Maybe I fear you don't really mean it
For I feel I'm never enough.

But I want you more than I ever wanted
Anything I can recall
But something inside keeps saying you'll hurt me
Do I dare to trust it at all.

Teach me to trust, darling, you must
Or else I'll go out of my mind
When I'm not near you I always fear you
Have somebody else on the line.

Is it a fear or is it a knowing
A jealousy born out of truth
'Cause I watch you flirt
And it's how you embrace them with your eyes
That say I could lose.

Teach me to trust, ake me feel loved
Tell me I've no need to fear
Just make me feel safe whatever it takes
Tell me what I need to hear.

'Cause I need to feel important and special
Your cherished and only true love
And sometimes I think I'll die from this feeling
If you don't teach me to trust.

Can't you reach me and teach me to trust...
