Lyrics Robert Belenzon & Lennox Armstrong Music owned and published by Xonnel Music© ℗
Verse 1
Don’t say I Love, You
Unless You mean it
It only causes pain
You know I’ve seen it
Just wait until
You know its real
Then you can say
“I Love, You”
Don’t let your thoughts confuse
What you say
You must be sure
You’re willing to stay
If you do I’ll know it too
Then you can say…Then you can say
Then you can say “I Love You” Then you can say “I Love You”
Chorus
Think about
The words that you say
Think about
How they make me feel
Think about
The moves that you make
If what you feel is real
Think about
All of the life we could share
Do you really care
If you feel it too
Then you can say I Love, You…
I Love, You
Verse 2
But first you must love yourself
Before you love somebody else
Don’t let your your feelings mislead you
Let Your heart tell you
Just want you must do
And, if its right
Then hold me tight
Then you can say…Then you can say
Then you can say
Then you can say “I I Love, You”
Chorus 2x
Think about
The words that you say
Think about
How they make me feel
Think about
The moves that you make
And if what you feel is real
Think about
All of the life we could share
Do you really care
If you feel it too
Then you can say I Love, You….
You should truly
Think about
The words that you say
Think about
How they make me feel
Think about
The moves that you make
And if what you feel is real
Think about
All of the life we could share
Do you really care
If you feel it too
Then you can say I Love, You….
Then you can say…I Love, You…I Love, You Yeah…
Then you can say…I Love, You
Just wait until you know its real
Then you can say…I Love, You
Then you can say I Love, You
