I Want To Hear It From You - Gordon Lightfoot

I want to hear it from you

I want to hear it from someone who knows how it is

All the second-hand words seem to get in my way

I want to hear it from you

I want to hear it again

I want to know if the soft scented touch of your lips

Must be taken away like a mother’s first kiss to the life that she gives

I’ve got a right to get it straight from you

To give my life a different point of view

To find a way to keep from losing you

If you don’t know what to say

To understand is my life and the question is why

You should cry in the night while your eyes look away

Every time that I speak and there’s nothing to say

I want to hear it from you

I want to hear it from you

Let me know how you feel

You’ve got to make up your mind

Tell me where I can run

When my roof tumbles in

I want to hear it from you

I want to hear it from you
