Say You Say Me
Paul Mauriat Lyrics

You say you needed someone
You told me that you needed a person

but you just needed somewhere to stay
But in truth, you only wanted a place to stay

Oh any other time
In any other situation

any other time
In any other case

I'd have told you to be right on your way
I would have said for you to go away

you say you needed a friend
You said that you needed a companion

but you just needed sympathy
But you really wanted pity

I'd have told you just to let me be
I would have advised you to leave me alone

but I was so alone
But I was very lonely

so alone.
Extremely lonely.

Don't say you love me baby
Please don't say you love me

Don't say you love me
Don't tell me that you love me

cause I know it would be just a lie.
Because I know it would be untrue.

I lost the warmth in my life
I lost the happiness in my life

and you came and helped me up
And you came and supported me

when I was down
When I was feeling low

I'd have let you carry on
I would have let you continue

fooling around
To act lightly and without seriousness

I let you into my home
I allowed you to enter my house

and I even let you into my heart
And I even let you into my emotions

but any other time
But in any other circumstance

from the very start
From the beginning

but I was so sad and blue
But I was very unhappy and depressed

and I just didn't know what to do
And I was at a loss for what to do

Time
The passage of time

has told me what I need to know
Has informed me of what I needed to learn

has showed me now what love is for
Has taught me the purpose of love

keeps telling me that I have got to go
Is persistently indicating that I must depart

Yeah I needed someone
I did need someone

but that time's gone
But that period has passed

now baby I'm gonna try and do it all on my own.
Now, child, I'm going to attempt to accomplish everything myself.

So don't say you love me
Therefore, please don't say that you love me

Oh don't say that you love me
Oh, don't affirm your love for me

I don't want you to tell me that you love me
I don't desire you to declare your love for me

because I know, because I know
Because I am aware, because I am aware

yeah I know, yes I know
Yes, I am aware, yes, I am aware

I know that it would be just a lie.
I comprehend that it would be dishonest.
