The Things I Want to Hear (Pretty Words) - The Shirelles

You say you think I’m beautiful

You say you live for my touch

Tell me the things I want to hear

Don’t you know you can never say too much

You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear

You gotta say pretty words every time you’re near

You gotta show me that you care

So I’ll know you’ll be there right through the years

Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear

Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words

Tell me the words that touch my heart

Promise you want me to stay

Tell me that we will never part

Say I’m the one you’ll be loving more each day

You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear

You gotta say pretty words every time you’re near

You gotta show me that you care

So I’ll know you’ll be there right through the years

Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear

Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words

Words I wanna hear (pretty words)
