(tom shapiro, sharon vaughn, walter wilson)
Love is a powerful word
a little word that oughta mean something
love better mean what it says
say what you mean or it doesn't mean nothing
love is a dangerous door to open
if you don't feel it when it's spoken
Chorus:
sometimes i said it when i really didn't mean it
just to throw away a promise i knew wasn't true
it meant a little less to me everytime i did it
but i never said i love you from the heart
til i said it to you
You made me tell you the truth
and that truth was a total revelation
i see i have it in me
now i can speak without any hesitation
i love you comes so freely
for the first time i believe me
Repeat chorus x2
