    Lyrics:
    '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 thing is you and me.

      Not being an asshole but that’s the point. Everyone is scared of lions, tigers and bears but the thought of comparing that to love, it’s worth trying cuz it’s not that scary when you think about lions, tigers and bears. You probably knew that but just saying lol

    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 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 u and u love me,
    It doesn't mean that that we're meant to be,
    I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas,
    But the most frightening thing is you & me!
    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 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?
    Most circumstances I know my fate
    But in this love thing 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 u and u love me,
    It doesn't mean that that we'll ever be,
    Fly cross the ocean, sing for the Queen,
    But the most frightening thing is you & me!
    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 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?
    I'm not sure no, I'm not sure
    But if we never try we'll never know
    It's better to have loved than not to love at all
    But trying is worst than to stumble and fall
    And if what we do?
    I'd rather it be with you
    Cause at least there will be
    Sweet memories
    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 an impossible task?

    The Grammy Awards for 2009 really slept on this woman's album. There were so many hits off Jazmine's debut and this one was a special one. The symbolism, the lyrics, the moving production and of course Jazzy's insane voice took this song to a different level. A shame it's gone underrated with time...

    What makes this song so dynamic, is a combination of her voice, and the musical arrangements. In the 60's and 70's, almost every song used horns, and string instruments, to make the song complete. No one does this type of arrangement anymore, which makes this song not only rare, but brilliant as well. Well done!

She is the only artists that I know of that used the instrumentation of violins and and an orchestra. Nothing but AMAZING! Please do another song with the use of orchestra instrumentation!

    I was old enough to love and be loved when this came out. Years later in my 30s, it still resonates more. Nothing has tested and tried my patience, sense of being, mental welfare, emotions, etc. than making my marriage last. This is coming from a man. That's why the things that scared you as a child and even young adult (lions, tigers, bears) become trivial compared to the fear of failing at love and the hurt that can accompany it. This is all amplified when other psychological issues factor in. If you read this, be brave enough to try or try again yet have the courage and knowledge to walk away when it's unhealthy (abuse). Love is extremely rewarding when you get it right.
