I don't want you to say pretty words Makin' music like the sweet singing birds I don't want you to be no fool And don't treat me no special way - Just say "I love you so" - now and then .... 'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah, I like to hear it some time Sometimes you ought to take me in your arms And say the words that I want to hear You ought to sooth me with your magic charms Call me "sweetheart", "darling" or "dear"! I don't want you to beg or cry A little affection would satisfy I don't want you to be upset I just want to hear you say "I love you so" - now and then .... 'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah, I like to hear it some time
