      (You gotta say it, you gotta say it)
VERSE 1:
SBmilence is golden but thBm/Aese are the words 
that the wBmorld needs to hear. (Brothers and sisters)
TBmerms of compassion will cBm/Aause a reaction
                      Bm  Bm/D  
As love drawls them near
But still we chGoose to hide behind the fBmace of pride
Pretending wAe are blind to the cEmalling
This is my pGoint and case, if hate can bBme erased
With such Aa simple phrase, why are wEme stalling?
CHORUS:
SGay the words, sDay the words, say "I lAove yEmou" (Say "I love you").
SGay the wBmords I long to hAear (I long to hear them).

VERSE 2:
SGome just assume we Emalready know
Of the lBmove that they feel.  A(Brothers and sisters)
SGome have a heartfelt emEmotion
But never the wBmords to reveal.A  
I think we Gall relate, so why are wBme afraid
To let our hAearts convey what we're fEmeeling?
There is a wGorld in need with hungry sBmouls to feed
And love cAan intercede if we're willing, so...
CHORUS:
SGay the words, sDay the words, say "I lAove yEmou" (Say "I love you").

    G       Bm   AYa gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it.
The word lBmove, well it was once overused 
back in the 70's the word was abused
But I refG/Buse to let love be diluted. 
Or pollEm/Bute it cause there ain't no excuse 
for the greatest gift of all to be abused
So chBmoose to lose the pride that may tug at you.
CHORUS:
SGay the words, sDay the words, say "I lAove yEmou".
