You’d Better Love Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You'd better love me while you may
Tomorrow I may fly away
I want your gentle touch
Your continental touch
Your elemental touch
And you want me too
Oh, I know that you do

[Verse 2]
You'd better love me while I'm here
I have been known to disappear
So, don't let this miracle melt away
The clock ticks fast above me
If you think fondly of me
You'd better love me while you may
While you may

[Bridge]
You called me back
With a silent plea
From another time, another place, anothеr plea
You called me back
And I found my way
To a half-rеmembered, half-forgotten yesterday
But I might not stay
So remember, baby
[Verse 2]
You'd better love me while I'm here
I have been known to disappear
So, don't let this miracle melt away
The clock ticks fast above me
If you think fondly of me

[Outro]
Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
You'd better love me while
You may
