If you gotta’ go, then I’ll make out all right
If you wanna to know,I knew it wasn’t right
All the time
Well make out some how, just like we did before
Just don’t turn around ,when you walk out the door
Just one time

Say the words
Say the words I love
Fell the time ,till the time you can stay
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fell the time ,till the time you can stay

Nothing left to do,its done there is no more
Nothing left to say, we’ve said it all before
Yes I know
Wouldn’t trade away a day of what we had
I know you shouldn’t stay but babe it wasn’t bad
Before you go

Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time,till the time you can stay
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time ,till the time you can stay
