Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much you love me
I want to be right there beside you
Whenever you want me
And for you I'll do
Whatever brings you pleasure
And all of the joy I'd bring to you
Could not be measured
That you love me
It would make me feel secure
To know your love for me was sure
If you love me
Why don't you tell me
If you need me
Why don't you let me know
Darlin' relax your fears
Go on and shed a tear it's okay
I know you're masculine
Go on be sensitive around me
Because for you I'll do
Whatever brings you pleasure
And all of the joy I'd bring to you
Could not be measured
And if you would only tell me
That you love me
It would make me feel secure
To know your love for me was sure
If you love me
Why don't you tell me
If you need me
Why don't you let me know
If you love me
Why don't you tell me
If you need me
Why don't you let me know
Let me know what you need my baby
Let me know what you want my baby
Don't be afraid to say you love me
Oh don't be afraid
'Cause it would make me feel secure
To know your love
For me was sure if you love me why
Don't you say it, say it, say it
If you love me
Why don't you tell me
If you need me
Why don't you let me know
