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