[Chorus:] If you love me Like you say you do Why don't you show me Just how much you do If you love me Unconditionally Say that you'll always, always be with me In my heart There is a love That's yearning for you Let me know If you feel the same The yearning that I do All I know Is that I need a love To give me what I need Don't be afraid Or hesitate I'm tryin' to make you see How it's gotta be [Chorus] All the words That you didn't say Pushed me away from you Word of love That I need to hear To let me know you do Through the night I dry my eyes For now I have learned Lonely tears They fall the same When love is not returned [Chorus]
