YOU SAY

YOU SAY

You say that you're lonely; well I've been lonely too.

You say that you need a hug; well I know I could use a few.

You say to be kissed lately seems to be rare.

I could kiss you all over if you think that's fair.

You say what you need the most is the feel of someone's loving touch.

I really feel the same; to touch and be touched really is a must.

You say that you want someone to hold you when you're feeling down.

I know it's good to have a friend you can count on when you need someone around.

You say that sometimes it would be nice to have someone say the things you want to hear.

I know when the lights go out, I like someone to whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

You say you want someone that will listen to what you have to say.

I know it would be great to have someone to tell your troubles to that won't run away.

You say you want someone to come over when you've got an itch.

I know it would be great to find someone that could scratch without a hitch.

You say sometimes you get really hot, like an old brick oven.

I know the only thing that will take care of that is some old fashion lovin.

You say you won't tolerate someone that will lie.

I know when someone tells you a lie it makes you cry.

You say you have a thing about always knowing the truth.

I know when you don't get total honesty, you become a sleuth.

You say you want someone to hold you through the night.

I know you want to wake up and find someone there in the light.

You say to have someone there all night feels so fuzzy and warm.

I know it's like having someone to weather out a bad storm.

You say that this is the day you start to really live.

I know to do this you've learned how to forgive.

You say it's good to be able to clean out your soul.

I know that over the years things that weight down your soul will take its toll.

You say you've done a lot in life and it's getting close to the end.

I know you want someone to love that has some time to spend.

You say that to live life there are chances you have to take.

I know when it comes to love; you have to make sure you're not making a mistake.
