Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please, let me sit down beside you
I’ve got something to tell you, you should know
I just couldn't wait for not another day
I love you, for more than words can ever say
[Verse 2]
Honey, living without you is so painful, yeah
I was tempted to call it a day, yeah, yeah
You've got me in your hand
Why can't you understand I love you, baby
For more than words can say? Yeah
[Bridge]
I just can't sleep when I lay down alone in my bed
The thoughts of you, babe, just linger in my head
[Verse 3]
Living without you is so painful, oh
I was tempted to call it a day
You've got me in your hand
Why can't you understand I love you, honey
For more than words can say?
[Outro]
Yeah, I love you, honey
For more than words can say
Yes, I do
No
