and then say it like you mean it
and move your hand away
i don't want you to screen it
in front of witnesses
so others say they've seen it
baby say it
say those three small words
to me
won't you say it
make it pleasing to my pallate
hey, no pressure
i don't want to use a mallet
choose your own words
let's not take this to a ballot
baby say it
say those three small words
to me
don't buy a card
and tell me Hallmark says it better
don't put your feelings
in a long well-worded letter
don't buy me underwear,
or flowers or a sweater
baby say it
say those three small words
to me
you think by gesture
there's some way that i might know it
or maybe "date night"
is the modern way to show it
just say it simply
you don't have to be a poet
baby say it
say those three small words
to me
you vowed it once
but now i think that you might fear it
and if i hint
you just avoid and won't go near it
but i'm a woman
sometimes women need to hear it
won't you please...
please say those three small words
to me
(i love you)

I always enjoy reading what you have to say :) And, I can't stand the Hallmark card with only a signature at the end either. I like, "...but now i think that you might fear it and if i hint you just avoid and won't go near it..."
Thanks for sharing!
Such important words. Nicely done.
That was precious.
smiles. i feel you on this...i love you...the best poem ever written, even better when spoken...
words are so much more powerful than trinkets and the like. Great words.
Amazing how much power love has. I mentioned this to another blogger earlier in the week...Saying "I love you" can be the sweetest sound. It can heal a wounded heart, but can also be meaningless, if lies & deceit are hiding behind those words.
True Andy...these three little words have to be said with meaning, from an honest heart otherwise they are meaningless!
The words are easy to say but they mean nothing if not said with truth. Enjoyed your One Shot.
this sounds like a song to me...
Lovely message, well expressed!

I can imagine this working as a song lyric. Loved the verse about the Hallmark cards - so clever! :)
(P.S. Hope you got my reply to your email? Love, Pen x)
so many people need to read this and take heed to the importance of communication.truly lovely.
beautiful...though I must admit that part of me was waiting for some twist to the obvious three small words...well done!
