When I Say I Love You (The Pie)

(album: Strangers In The Wind - 1978)

When I say I love you, you just act like I don't know
Trying hard to prove you're near me
Always asking if you hear me
Telling me has done it when you say you gotta go
While I'm trying to unwind
It's my loneliness that's binding me to you

Now when I say I love you
Now it really means I love you
Don't you know
And if I gave you something
It's because you have me something
But you don't know, yeah, you don't know

When I say I want you I can only give you pain
I can only bring you sorrow
I will always be the same
When I say I love you I can only speak your name
I can only take your number
If I ask you don't deny me one more time

Now when I say I love you
Now it really means I love you
Don't you know
When the pie is open
There'll be many more to love you
You don't know, yeah, you don't know
