Johnny Gill, Stevie Wonder - Simply Say I Love U lyrics

If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But, you were afraid to say the words

Could've been much better if we took our time
Should've been much wiser so that
Love wouldn't be a grind
When I think back on it
All the things that we couldn't get right
Just three little simple words should've
Let you know that

If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But, you were afraid to say the words

Now, I don't wanna pass judgement
'cause I know I was wrong
When it came to making you feel secure
My love just was not strong
But now I take my time and
Make sure you're feeling alright
See, it may have taken a while
But now I realize that

If you simply say I love you (Say I love you)
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we have love
But, I was afraid to say the words
(Say the words)

I must admit I have my pride, my pride, yeah
But, I won't let my strong ego be
The reason for this love to fall
We can overcome this problem if
We just get along

If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
(Would exist, yeah)
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But, you were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
(You say, I say, we say it together)
None of our problems would exist
(You say, I say, we say it together, yeah)
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
If you simply say I love you
(Only three words, that "I love you")
None of our problems would exist
(You see, we should've took our time
Sat down and talked about it)
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love (yeah)
But, I was afraid to say the words
("I love you, girl")
If you simply say I love you
("I love you, girl")
None of our problems would exist
Nothing in this world hurts more
Than knowing we had love
But we were afraid to say the words
