Lyrics
VERSE
We've come to that place in our relationship
When words of commitment are exchanged
We know it's so much more than merely friendship
But I don't want you ending up shortchanged
VERSE
I've been down this road a few times and back
And I know you believe what you say
But there's a big difference in belief and fact
When you're wrong, there's a high price to pay
CHORUS
(Now) (Yes) it may be easy for you to say "I love you"
But for me, the words now come real slow
I've been burned when I thought I knew
I've seen love die more often than grow
You say this is your first time feelin' this way
So I guess "I love you" is easy to say
VERSE
Now I cannot tell you just how long it will be
Before I can say "I love you, too"
But just remember, darlin,' the truth shall set you free
When the right time comes, we'll both know what to do
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
So when I don't respond in kind
Just give me a chance; don't leave me behind
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
I guess I love you is easy for you to say
