Gotta say it, yeah
Gotta tell it, yeah
Gotta say it, baby

There've been so many times when I wanted
Your loving arms all around me
So many times when I wanted your lips
Touching mine, whoa yeah
Might as well admit it
Need your lovin', can't quit it
Got to say it
Got to tell it like it is

There've been so many times when I
Woke up crying your name, baby
There's been so many times when I
Dreamed for you to say
"Gotta leave my pride behind
Say what's on my mind, got to say it
Can't help it, baby."

You standing there, with your long
Pretty hair, flashing your big brown eyes
You're looking good, stand from side to side

I've got to tell it
I got to say it
[Go on, tell it like it is]
Got to say it, baby
I got to tell it
Leave my pride behind
Say what's on my mind
I'm gon' say it, yeah
You made it long
With someone else
But I can't help it, baby
I just want you for myself

I got to say it
Got to tell it, baby
You're so fine
I need your love
Gonna leave my pride behind
Say what's on my mind
Yeah, I'm gonna say it
Yeah, baby
Tell the whole wide world
I love my girl
Gonna leave my pride behind, yeah, baby
I'm gonna say it, baby
I love you
