6. At Your Best {You Are Love}
Let me know, let me know
Ah - ha, let me know, let me know
Let me know
When
I feel what I feel
Sometimes it's hard to tell you so
You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know
There
are times when I find
You want to keep yourself from me
When I don't have the strength; I'm just a mirror to what I
see
[CHORUS:]
But at your best you are love
You're a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever
feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know. . .
When you feel what you feel
Oh, how hard for me to
understand
So many things have happened before this love affair began
But when you feel, oh, like I feel
Confusion
can give way to doubt
And there are times when I fall short of what I say,
what I say I'm all about, all about
[CHORUS]
Tell
me what it is (Tell me what it is)
Make believe, no need to make believe
Look beyond your own (Look beyond your own)
Try
and find another place for me
Cause. . .
[CHORUS]
Ah, ah, ah - ha
See, at your best baby
