When you love someone dear They can do no wrong But when you love too hard You sing a different song You got to take your time and build only slow And get it all together and watch it grow The bigger you love, the harder you fall Just take it from me, girl, you got to start small Oh, the bigger you love, the harder you fall Just take it from me, you got to start softly You gotta start a love right from the ground 'Cause when you start from the top You can only come down And when you give all your love and get no return That's the hurting way you have to try to learn The bigger you love, the harder you fall Just take it from me, you got to start small Oh, the bigger you love, the harder you fall Just take it from me, you got to start softly
