Lyrics Simply Say I Love U - Johnny Gill, Stevie Wonder

Simply Say I Love U

If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But you were afraid to say the words
Could’ve been much better if we took our time
Should’ve been much wiser so that love wouldn’t be a grind
When I think back on it, all the things that we couldn’t get right
Just three little simple words should’ve let you know that
If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But you were afraid to say the words
Now, I don’t wanna pass judgement, 'cause I know I was wrong
When it came to making you feel secure, my love just was not strong
But now I take my time and make sure you’re feeling alright
See, it may have taken a while, but now I realize that
If you simply say I love you (Say I love you)
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we have love
But I was afraid to say the words (Say the words)
I must admit I have my pride, my pride, yeah
But I won’t let my strong ego be the reason for this love to fall
We can overcome this problem if we just get along
If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist (Would exist, yeah)
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But you were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
(You say, I say, we say it together)
None of our problems would exist
(You say, I say, we say it together, yeah)
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
(Only three words, that «I love you»)
None of our problems would exist
(You see, we should’ve took our time, sat down and talked about it)
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love (Yeah)
But I was afraid to say the words («I love you, girl»)
If you simply say I love you («I love you, girl»)
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
