What are Jazmine Sullivan's lyrics to Lions Tigers and Bears?

Answer 1

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my!)

But I'm scared of (loving you)

I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that's right)

But I'm scared of (loving you)

Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task

Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?

Why do we love Love,

When Love seems to hate us?

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom.

You say you care, and I know you do...

But this is from my experience

And my conclusion only makes sense.

Just cause I love you, and you love me

It doesn't mean that we're meant to be.

I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas

But the most frightening you and me.

[Chorus]

Most circumstances, I know my fate

But in this love thang, I don't get the game.

Why does it feel like those who give in,

They only wind up losing a friend.

Just cause I love you and you love me,

It doesn't mean that we'll ever be.

Fly cross the ocean, sing for the queen

But the most frightening thing is you and me.

[Chorus]

I'm sure though I'm not sure

But if we never try, We'll never know

It's better to have loved then not to loved at all.

Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall

And if we do, I'd rather it be with you

Cause at least there will be sweet memories.

Oh I'm not scared...

[Chorus] I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (oh my!)

But I'm scared of (loving you)

I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that's right)

But I'm scared of (loving you)

Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task

Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?

Why do we love Love,

When Love seems to hate us?

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom.

You say you care, and I know you do...

But this is from my experience

And my conclusion only makes sense.

Just cause I love you, and you love me

It doesn't mean that we're meant to be.

I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas

But the most frightening you and me.

[Chorus]

Most circumstances, I know my fate

But in this love thang, I don't get the game.

Why does it feel like those who give in,

They only wind up losing a friend.

Just cause I love you and you love me,

It doesn't mean that we'll ever be.

Fly cross the ocean, sing for the queen

But the most frightening thing is you and me.

[Chorus]

I'm sure though I'm not sure

But if we never try, We'll never know

It's better to have loved then not to loved at all.

Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall

And if we do, I'd rather it be with you

Cause at least there will be sweet memories.

Oh I'm not scared...

[Chorus]
