Say You Love Me - Rodney Crowell

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
