Words - Bobby Caldwell

Love, it was meant to be played by the rules

Guess that I’m just like all the other fools

'Cause if you said the words

I would make believe they’re true

Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won’t mind

Even though they may be only words

Lies, girl I can’t hear enough of those lies

So if love’s only meant for the wise

One more lie for a fool

Shouldn’t matter much to you, oh no

Though it may seem incomplete

I’ll pretend not to know it

Maybe love is obsolete

There’s no one who will see

Keep on lying to me

Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won’t mind

Even though they may be only words
