I don't want you to say pretty words Makin' music like the sweet singing birds I don't want you to be no fool And don't treat me no special way Just say "I love you so" - now and then .... "I love you so" - now and then .... "I love you so" - now and then .... "I love you so" - yes sir... 'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time) Sometimes you ought to take me in your arms And say the words that I long to hear You ought to soothe me with your magic charms Call me "sweetheart", "darling" or "dear"! I don't want you to beg or cry A little affection will satisfy I don't want you to be upset I just want to hear you say "I love you so" - now and then "I love you so" - now and then "I love you so" - yes sir "I love you so" - come on baby 'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time) "I love you so" - now and then "I love you so" - now and then "I love you so" - yeah "I love you so" - yes sir 'Cause if you really, really love me, yeah I like to hear it some time (I like to hear it some time) (I like to hear it some time) (I like to hear it some time) (I like to hear it some time)
