This song started off, in concept, as an April Wine-like pop ballad. It didn't turn out that way. Written about my first experience falling in love with an older woman...

Girl when you smile at me I'm filled with hope and adoration

I know you've been in love before. I know you don't want to get hurt again.

But I can promise you, your guarded heart will be safe with me tonight

I DON'T WANT YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

SIMPLY JUST TO PLEASE ME

THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO EXPECT THAT FROM YOU

Sometimes I see you look at me, it's easy to see the mutual attraction

But in a heartbeat you push away, I know you wish that I was older

You only want to do what's right, and so do I so won't you tell me what's so wrong

I DON'T WANT YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

SIMPLY JUST TO PLEASE ME

THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO EXPECT THAT FROM YOU

JUST DON'T PUSH ME AWAY

YOU KNOW I'M STILL YOUR BEST FRIEND

YOU KNOW NOBODY ELSE COULD EVER TREAT YOU THIS WAY

It's been some time since I've felt this way

You're something special darlin' can't you see

but somehow you're hesitant to believe

I wish you could see yourself the way I do, but

I DON'T WANT YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

SIMPLY JUST TO PLEASE ME

THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO EXPECT THAT FROM YOU

HOLD MY HAND

I'LL PROMISE YOU A BETTER DAY

YOU KNOW NOBODY ELSE COULD EVER TREAT YOU THIS WAY
