[Verse 1: Spoken]
Now I've had a lot of regrets
But I've got so much to be thankful for
I come from a pretty good home
And my mother gave me the best of advice
But like any young girl who's never experienced love
She gets caught up in a little trap every time
Set by some jive Casanova
Who doesn't mean himself, her, or anybody else any good
I have a pretty good education too
I went to one of the best schools
But I never learned the real meaning of hurt
Until a man locked me up and just tore my heart to shreds
But on the other hand, I never knew the real meaning of true love
Until you came along and set me free
You see, I had lost all faith in the word man
Ah, but sweet you, you changed that
I'm sorry if I go to left field on you baby
But I've got to say that to say this
You see, in some foreign countries, I can't remember the exact name, they have an old custom
And that is, when you save someone's life, you are responsible for
That life as long as it shall live

[Verse 2: Sung]
Baby that's why, mmm hmm
My love is in your hands, ooh
Guide me well
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm
Darling our love is in your hands
Come on and guide me well, mmm hmm mmm
Oh, you shouldn't have been so good to me
And you shouldn't have been so good for me
You know I'm looking up to you
And I'm depending on you
'Cause darling our love is in your hands
Yeah, so guide me well, mmm hmm mmm
I keep saying, darling my love is in your hands
Come on, guide me well, mmm hmm, mmm hmm
