Gladys Knight & The Pips — Can You Give Me Love With a Guarantee

Here you come to me with your arms open wide Saying, "I got sweet love to give, won't you step inside?" Well now, I'm sorry my friend, you're a victim of circumstance (Yeah) I've fell for that lie before, I can't take a second chance Should I let myself go? (Should I let myself go?) Can you offer me? (What can you give me baby?) Is your love the kind that's heartache free I want to know! [Chorus] Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby? Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me? (Heartache) That time has passed on And experience has made me wiser (Yeah) I hear your cry for love (Oh, my broken heart says goodnight) So can you understand why I must try and be reserved? (Yeah) The fact that I got hurt before, took away all my nerve Woah! Can you offer me that? (Can you offer me that?) My loneliness, lies, and tears Tell me, what can you give me to remove all my fears? (Take away my fears, I want to know!) [Chorus] Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby? Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me? Tell me, tell me, tell me Can you offer me (Can you offer me) Take away all my doubt (To remove my doubt) The pain that I had before (The pain that I had before) Show, I truly want to know! [Chorus] Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby? Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me? Can you? Can you? Can you give me love? Oh babe! [Outro/Chorus] Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me, baby? Can you give me love with a guarantee that you won't hurt me?
