| First thing you should know about me
|
| I’ve always been a man of my word
|
| Secondly please know that I take everything
|
| For what it’s worth
|
| Now it’s 3AM and the bars are all closed
|
| And you come over alone
|
| 'Cause you were just thinking of me
|
| Saying how since we’ve been together
|
| The world has been so much better
|
| Then you lean over and tell me you love me
|
| You’ve been patiently awaiting
|
| For me to say it, say it out loud
|
| And I want to, 'cause I want you
|
| But I need time, time to come around
|
| 'Cause when I tell you everything I’m feeling
|
| Every word is straight from my heart
|
| If I speak it, best believe it
|
| That I mean it, if I say it out loud
|
| I’ve been there before I took it way too fast
|
| Hardest lesson I ever learned
|
| Know you can throw it out and take it back
|
| It’s such an easy way to get burned
|
| Oh, I want the best for you
|
| I got so much respect for you
|
| I will never hurt you, my dear
|
| I’m now trying to build this trust
|
| And I don’t wanna fill it up
|
| With the things that you think you want to hear
|
| You’ve been patiently awaiting
|
| For me to say it, say it out loud
|
| And I want to, 'cause I want you
|
| But I need time, time to come around
|
| 'Cause when I tell you everything I’m feeling
|
| Every word is straight from my heart
|
| If I speak it, best believe it
|
| That I mean it, if I say it out loud
|
| Three little words, three little words
|
| Three little words, so complicated
|
| Three little words, three little words
|
| Three little words, so complicated
|
| You’ve been patiently awaiting (awaiting)
|
| For me to say it, say it out loud
|
| And I want to (ooh), 'cause I want you
|
| But I need time, time to come around (come around)
|
| 'Cause when I tell you everything I’m feeling (ooh)
|
| Every word is straight from my heart (heart)
|
| If I speak it, best believe it
|
| That I need it, if I say it out loud (loud)
|
| Now it’s patiently awaiting
|
| For me to say it, if I say it out loud |
