Don’t Be Afraid Lyrics by Boston

Don’t Look Back

1978

[Verse 1]
Now if you're thinkin' 'bout a love that left you
Thinkin' you should hide away
Girl I think it's wrong
You just try to be strong now babe
Listen to what I've got to say
I know the feelin' that you feel today

[Chorus]
But don't be afraid of love
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh
Love (love)
Love (Love)
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Tell you how I feel about you
Tell you what you want to hear
Tell you that it's true
But it's all up to you now babe
Don't let your love disappear
Can't believe that I'll be stayin' here

[Chorus]
But don't be afraid of love
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh
(Don't be afraid)
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh, alright

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Interlude]
Alright, listen here
Baby don't you know good love is hard to find
Don't you think I know what's goin' through your mind
One man left you cryin' so you shut the door
Just let me inside that's what my love is for

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Verse 2]
Tell you how I feel about you
Tell you what you want to hear
Tell you that it's true
But it's all up to you now babe
Don't let your love fade away
Can't you believe that I'll be here to stay

[Chorus]
But don't be afraid of love
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh

[Outro]
Oh
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Ooh
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Yeah, alright
