Say You Love Me

I've been up all night and the night before my teeth are dirty my eyes are sore There was good time had by all accounts we've been 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 don't disappoint me Say it say it say it say it I've got ten good years left in my legs some day baby I won't have to beg The first thing to go is not your mind you have known that for a long long time You've got the Irish eyes and the Irish lips from your head down to your fingertips Poetry in your kiss and your hand poetry anywhere that you stand Come on and 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 You Love Me - Rodney Crowell
