[Verse 1]
It don't sit right with me
That this well of love's still flowing free
You lingered in my dreams
Trying to lure me out of this misery

[Chorus]
Baby, I need to hear you say you love me
Just a little comfort now to make me happy
Say it so I'll always know
Don't let it stick there in your throat

[Verse 2]
I pray to the rising sun
Pinning all my hopes on a chosen one
Always knowing it'll never come
I don't believe you'll love what I've become

[Chorus]
Baby, I need to hear you say you love me
Just a little comfort now to make me happy
Say it so I'll always know
Don't let it stick there in your throat

[Bridge]
So darling, pleasе
Don't be so hard on you and me
Alone and proud, but free
[Verse 3]
Whеn I heard he'd pushed you around
I felt love and pride and sympathy
But I can't protect you now
You're no longer mine, you never belonged to me

[Chorus]
Baby, I need to hear you say you love me
Just a little comfort now to make me happy
Say it so I'll always know
Don't let it sit there in your throat
Say it so I'll always know
Don't let it stick there in your throat
