Teach Me To Trust (Album Version) - Dolly Parton

Written by：Gene Golden

Maybe because it's too good to be true

Maybe because I want it so much

Maybe I fear you don't really mean it

For I feel I'm never enough

But I want you more

Than I ever wanted

Anything I can recall

But something inside

Keeps saying you'll hurt me

Do I dare to trust it at all

Teach me to trust

Darling you must

Or else I'll go out of my mind

When I'm not near you

I always fear you

Have somebody else on the line

Is it a fear

Or is it a knowing

A jealousy born out of truth

'Cause I watch you flirt

And it's how you embrace

Them with your eyes

That say I could lose

Teach me to trust

Make me feel loved

Tell me I've no need to fear

Just make me feel safe

Whatever it takes

Tell me what I need to hear

'Cause I need to feel

Important and special

Your cherished and only true love

And sometimes I think

I'll die from this feeling

If you don't teach me to trust

Can't you reach me

And teach me to trust
