Paroles: Rodney Crowell. Say You Love Me.

I've been up all night and the night before
My teeth are dirty, my eyes are sore
There was a good time had by all accounts
And we were drinking to you in tall amounts

I guess we had a little trouble in the hotel bar
Some hometown bubba went a little too far
He said, "He don't like Catholics, he don't like Jews
He don't like me and he don't like you"

Say you love me, say you need me
Say you want me but don't disappoint me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

I've got ten good years left in my legs
Someday baby won't have to beg
Oh the first thing to go is not your mind
You've known that for a long, long time

You got the Irish eyes and the raven hair
From your head down to your underwear
Poetry is a language of choice
Whenever I'm within the sound of your voice

Say you love me, say you need me
Say you want me, don't disappoint me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

Speak your mind darlin', state your case baby
Lay it on the line sugar, cut to the chase maybe
Say it in your own words, don't be proud
If it's something that you want to get heard
You've got to say it to me right out loud

Say it, say it, say it, say it
Say it, you know you want me
Say it, you know you need me
Say it, you know you love me
Say it
