C                     G C
I never feel like this
C                 G          Am
I'm used to emptiness in my heart
          F
And in my arms
C                          G C
You're not what I'm used to
C                           G          Am
You keep me guessing with things that you do
                      F
I hope that they're true

            Am
'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
     C/G                 G
If I run every time it starts
               F                   E
So I need to know if I'm in this alone

Chorus:
         C
Come on baby, say it first
               Am
I need to hear you say those words
                       G
If I'm all that you desire,
                       F
I promise there'll be fire
                  C
I need to hear you say it first
             E
Come on baby, do your worst
                       Am
I know you'll take me higher
                 F
So come on darling
               G
If you love me, say it first
C
Say it, say it, say it
 G
Won't you say it to me?
C
Say it, say it, say it
 G
Won't you say it to me?

I know you're right for me
But I'm waiting for everything in your world
To align with my world
I think of you while I sleep
I dream of what we could be if we grow
Together unfold

'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
If I run every time it starts
So I need to know if I'm in this alone

Chorus:
Come on, baby, say it first
I need to hear you say those words
If I'm all that you desire,
I promise there'll be fire
I need to hear you say it first
Come on, baby, do your worst
I know you'll take me higher
So come on, darling
If you love me, say it first
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it first
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Come on, baby, say it first
I need to hear you say those words
If I'm all that you desire,
I promise there'll be fire
I need to hear you say it first
Come on, baby, do your worst
I know you'll take me higher
So come on, darling
If you love me, say it first
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
Say it, say it, say it
Won't you say it to me?
