Simple Words

(アルバム： How Can I Unlove You - 1971)

You can buy a box of candy on each birthday
Send a dozen roses every anniversary
But gifts are in the race and nothing takes the place
Of a kiss and simple words like I love you

You can take my part when all the world's against me
Take my hand and lead me safely through
But the thing I need the most is real to hold me close
And say some simple words like I love you

Simple words the kind that keeps through life and rightful years
Simple words the kind of woman always needs but seldom hears
So if you care to give the best remember I'm the most impressed
By sweet and simple words like I love you
Just say some simple words like I love you
