Can You Give Me Love With a Guarantee Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

Here you come to me with your arms open wide
Saying, "I′ve got sweet love to give, won't you step inside?"
Well now, I′m sorry, my friend, you're a victim of circumstance
I fell for that line before, I can't take a second chance

Should I let myself go?
What can you offer me?
Is your love the kind of love
That′s heartache-free?

I wanna know
Can you give me love, honey
With a guarantee that you won′t hurt me, baby?
Can you give me love
With a guarantee that you won't hurt me?

Honey, my time′s passed on and experience has made me wiser
I hear your cry for love, my broken heart says, "Deny her"
So can you understand why I must try and be reserved?
The fact that I got hurt before took away all my nerve


What can you offer me
To love, loneliness, smiles and tears?
Tell me, tell me
What can you give me
To remove my fears?

I wanna know
Can you give me love, honey, honey
With a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby?
Can you give me love, oh baby
With a guarantee that you won′t hurt me?

Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me
What can you offer me
That will take away all my doubt?
The pain that I had before
I can surely do without

I wanna know
Can you give me love, honey, honey
With a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby?
Can you give me love, oh baby
With a guarantee that you won′t hurt me?
