Lyrics Rodney Crowell

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
