'til I Said It Was You

Love is a powerful word
A little word that oughta mean something
Love better mean what it says
Say what you mean or it doesn't mean nothing
Love's a dangerous door to open
If you don't feel it when it's spoken

Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it
Just a throw away promise I knew wasn't true
It meant a little less to me every time I did it
But I never said "I love you" from the heart
'Til I said it to you

You made me tell you the truth
And that truth was a total revelation
I see I have it in me
Now I can speak without any hesitation
"I love you" comes so freely
For the first time I believe me

Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it
Just a throw away promise I knew wasn't true
It meant a little less to me every time I did it
But I never said "I love you" from the heart
'Til I said it to you

Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it
Just a throw away promise I knew wasn't true
It meant a little less to me every time I did it
But I never said "I love you" from the heart
'Til I said it to you
