What Are You Afraid Of? Lyrics

[Intro]
Come a little closer, stay a little longer
Now the gang is gone, put Sinatra on
What are you afraid of?

[Verse 1]
Make yourself at home now
You know you can trust me
If I dim a light since the fire's bright
What are you afraid of?

[Verse 2]
Who's to know you let yourself go?
A kiss or so astray
High, ho the merrio
Blame it on the stereo all the way

[Chorus]
Baby, take your shoes off
We're not going dancing
Kiss me like before, let the fire roar
Throw another pillow on the floor
Learn what love is made of
What are you afraid of?

[Bridge]
High, ho the merrio
Blame it on the stereo all the way
[Chorus]
Baby, take your shoes off
We're not going dancing
Kiss me like before, let the fire roar
Throw another pillow on the floor
Learn what love is made of
What are you afraid of?

[Outro]
Put Sinatra on, now the gang is gone
Do it one more time
Mm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
