That Little Word

The first time I met you, I knew...
You were the one for me.
Such a cliché, but just like they say...
Something happened inside of me.
But I bit my tongue...
'Cause I didn't want to scare you away.

Lying beside you, in your arms...
Feels like heaven to me.
Caught in the balance of what is...
And of what could someday be.

What's taking so long?
Don't you know that I am
patiently...
Praying that you'll go first.
Patiently...
Waiting to hear you say those words.

Come on, you can do it.
There's nothing to it.
I need to hear it from you.
Come on, admit it.
You know you're in it.
You feel the same way I do.
And I....
I...
Love you.
(I do.)

We're so good together, and keep getting better...
Almost effortlessly.
I know you so well that I can tell...
Just how much you care for me.
So why won't you say it?
(Just say it!)
Can't you see that I am desperately...
Trying not to lose my head.
Desperately...
Hanging on the words that you've never said.

Come on, you can do it.
There's nothing to it.
I need to hear it from you.
Come on, admit it.
You know you're in it.
You feel the same way I do.
And I....
I...
Love you.

What's the big deal?
Just say how you feel.
I'm not asking for a ring.
What would it hurt?
It's only a word.
But that little word.
Oh...
Means everything to me.

Come on, you can do it.
There's nothing to it.
I need to hear it from you.
Come on, admit it.
You know you're in it.
You feel the same way I do.
And I....
I...
Love you.
