Can you say it to me baby
Can I hear you say it loud and clear?
We used to be so close, now you aint even near
I need to hear you say you love me
And your never gonna take me for granted ever again
I need to hear you say you’re on your way to me
Don’t make excuses
Please just get on the plane

Say it with me baby, say it
Say it with me baby, say it
Say it with me baby

Say it with me baby (say it with me baby)

Say it with me baby

And I swear on all I have

I would cut my heart in half
For us to walk the same path yeah

Overall Meaning

In Elaine's song "Say It," she is longing to hear her lover say that he loves her and that he will never take her for granted again. She reminisces about how they used to be close, but now they are distant, and she needs him to show her that he still cares. Elaine begs him to come to her and not make any excuses, just to come and tell her that he loves her.

This song is a powerful representation of the yearning that comes with being in love and needing to hear those three little words. As in most of Elaine's songs, there's a vulnerability to the lyrics combined with smooth melodies that create a feeling of raw emotion that the listener can relate to. Elaine's silky vocals, combined with an R&B beat, create a perfect blend of the classic and modern sound. It's a song about wanting to be understood and loved and reaching out to the person you love.
