(Yeah, you've got to say it, say it)
(Brothers and sisters)
Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?
Say the words, I long to hear
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
We can't allow physical lust to intrude it
Some just assume we already know
But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
You gotta say it, you gotta say it, say it
Of the love that they feel
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction
And love can intercede if we're willing, so
I think we all relate, so why are we afraid
Don't be afraid of the words, "I love you"
But I refused to let love be diluted
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
Say the words, I long to hear
To let our hearts convey what we're feeling?
Say them over and over
So say the words
Some have a heartfelt emotion
Say the words, "I love you"
(You've got to say it)
(Brothers and sisters)
Pretending we are blind to the calling
(Check this out)
You gotta say it, you gotta say it
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
Say the words, say the words
As love drives them near
Say the words, I long to hear
Or pollute it 'cause there ain't no excuse
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
(Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you)
Back in the 70's the word was abused
The word 'love,' well it was once overused
This is my point and case, if hate can be erased
But never the words to reveal
You gotta say it, you gotta say it
You gotta say it, you gotta say it, say it
"Better is open rebuke, than hidden love"
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
Won't you say the words, say the words
Say the words, I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say, "I love you"
That the world needs to hear
Say the words, I long to hear
Say the words, I long to hear
There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
(Brothers and sisters)
Silence is golden but these are the words
(Don't be afraid of the words "I love you")
