[Verse 1]
Writing songs is not an easy thing
Complicated lines are not for me
So I'll say just what I'm thinking, in hopes that you'll agree
All clichés have seen their days in songs and poetry
[Chorus]
The only way for me to say I love you
Is to say I love you, if that's okay
The only way for me to say I need you
Is to say I need you, and I'm here to stay
[Verse 2]
Younger times of nursery rhymes, no different than today
Simple words with meaning hold the key
When I wrote these lines for you, I knew you'd understand
The words are clear, it's all right here, come on and take my hand
[Chorus]
The only way for mе to say I love you
Is to say I love you, if that's okay
The only way for mе to say I need you
Is to say I need you, and I'm here to stay
[Bridge]
Simple songs can tell it all
And this one's just for you
[Chorus]
The only way for me to say I love you
Is to say I love you, if that's okay
The only way for me to say I need you
Is to say I need you, and I'm gonna stay
[Outro]
Simple songs can tell it all
And this one's just for you
