Simply Say I Love U - Johnny Gill, Stevie Wonder

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
