I Can't Unlove

I Can't Unlove 

In my life, I know and I can count

Men I've loved on just one hand

There are those I like and like a lot

And a lot that I can't stand.

But there are not many I can say I've loved

With all of my little girl heart

Because I learned real young that men can be mean

So I cautiously don't allow love to start.

I have run away from and I have run to

But I don't usually stay very long

'Cause most of the loves I thought were so right

Just turned out to be very wrong.

I really don't try to play hard to get

But most guys think that I am

I've just learned to see deep inside of a man

And quickly know if he's worth a damn.

But oh, the few that I have loved

I've loved with all my soul

And I've lived to please them with all of my heart

And make their joy my goal.

There isn't anything I wouldn't do

If I loved a good, sweet man

And I I knew he loved me true right back

And I felt safe in his hands.

I would climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest sea

I would fight for him till my dying breath

If I knew that he loved me.

That's the kind of woman that I am

And I will be for ever more

But if a man unmasked shows another face

I will show him to the door.

For life's too short and death's too long

To live without true love

And there's no time to waste on Earth

Before you fly above.

But I have learned to live alone

When no true love can be found

It's best to live alone, I think

Than in strife and stress, to drown.

I've got a heart full of poetry

And my soul is filled with romance

And my body burns to love somebody

And to dance love's sweet slow dance.

But if I cannot find the man

That feels the way I feel

I will just live on without a song

If I can't find something real.

But I know there's something real out there

Because I've loved before

And I still love them though they are gone

When those ships crashed on the shore.

I can't unlove the ones I've loved

Though there have been so few

Once I fell in love, my heart still cared

Even when love came anew.

It's just the way I am, I guess

And you must believe it's true

And even though your love has died

I cannot unlove you.

You will be a part of my woman's heart

Till to Heaven my life I'll give

And even then on that golden shore

My love for you will live.

I can count on one hand those I've loved

The sweet and the not so nice

But when I think of you, sweet man

I know I'll count you twice.
