Having said that, I’d like to try to set the record straight.

It’s not too late, I hope – you must think I’m a dope –

Amazing how I seem to ramble on!

I didn’t mean it when I said thought that we should just be friends.

I should have told you how much I want to hold you,

And now I can’t remove you from my mind.

I love you – such a simple phrase.

I want you – what’s so hard to say?

I need you each and every day.

Yes, I love you!

I can’t believe it – I never thought I’d be in love again.

It’s such a tricky path; should I cry or laugh?

I guess no one will help make up my mind.

I adore you and that’s all that really matters in the end.

I know you think I’m crazy – at least a little hazy –

And now I can’t release you from my mind.

I love you – such a simple phrase.

I want you – is that so hard to say?

I need you each and every day.

Yes, I love you!

I have to go now; got to get up in the morning – can’t be late.

You know I hate to go – oh, I love you so –

Say you love me too, we’ll say goodnight!

I’m so glad that we finally managed to set it straight.

I must be bolder – we’re getting older,

I’m so glad I spoke my mind!

I love you – such a simple phrase.

I want you – what’s so hard to say?

I need you each and every day.

Yes, I love you!

I love you!

Every time I talk to you it’s the same old thing.

Are you listening? Yeah, would you, please?

‘Cause I know if you listen,

you won’t believe how you’re talking down to me,

yeah, you’re talking down to me.

Does it make you feel better to put me down? Uh, huh.

Yeah, when we’re together, you push me ‘round. Uh, huh.

So, are you aware of what you say? Uh, huh.

Or, do you care?

Well, either way…uh, huh.

Hey, I know that I laugh it off like it don’t bother me.

Beneath the love, there’s something haunting you.

Well, I just want to point it out so maybe you will see.

Between the two of us we’ll work it through.

Should I believe you when you say you’ll change? Uh, huh.

I’ll never leave you ‘cause I’m to blame. Uh, huh.

Sometimes I act like a child – it’s not too much, I know.

There’s days when I am worthless – yes, it’s true.

But I think we can reconcile and let our feelings go.

I’ll do my part – the rest is up to you.

Now every time I talk to you it’s a turn ‘round thing

‘cause you’re listening, yeah, I believe.

I’m trying to do better – now I can see

you’re not talking down to me –

you’re not talking down to me.

There’s something different in the way you look at me today –

Something distant in your eyes that gives you away.

Is there a truth you need to hide?

Or, is a feeling bursting inside?



You’re in love! You’re happy and free – I should have seen it before.

You’re in love! That guilt in your voice you couldn’t hide anymore.

You’re so obvious – I was oblivious.

You’re in love, you’re in love – just not with me.



I’m no stranger to being deceived.

No matter what I know, I want to believe.

I know you didn’t mean to treat me so cruelly.

I think you surprised yourself along with me!



You’re in love! So happy and free – I should have seen it before.

You’re in love! That guilt in your voice you couldn’t hide anymore.

It’s so obvious – I was oblivious.

You’re in love, you’re in love – just not with me.



Just not with me.

Just not with me.

Just not with me!
