Peggy Lee - (Just One Way to Say) I Love You Lyrics

Why search for flowery phrases
Quoting what poets have said
Why talk in circles around it
Why not be simple instead
Let's hit the nail on the head

I love you, I love you
There's no other way
Just one way to say
I love you

I love you, I love you
And try as I may
That's all I can say
I love you

Much more could be said if I thought with my head
But I only can think with my heart

I love you, I love you
And yearn for the day
The day when you'll say
"I love you"

I could be oh, so indiff'rent
With very little success
I could continue pretending
But I'm afraid you would guess
So why not simply say, "Yes"?

I love you, I love you
There's no other way
Just one way to say
I love you

I love you, I love you
And try as I may
That's all I can say
I love you

Much more could be said if I thought with my head
But I only can think with my heart

I love you, I love you
And this is the day
The day when we'll say
"I love you"
