"Sometimes when I look at you,
I don?t know why you?d wait.
School girl in a little world
Who learns everything late.
I?ve always had all the answers.
Now I don?t have a clue.
Some nights when the clouds are thick,
And the wind starts to blow.
I stare out my window,
Wondering where I will go.
I turn the light out.
Under the covers all I think of is you.
Just you.
Say the word
And I just might listen.
Say the word,
And you might get your way.
Loving you should be easier
But say the word,
And I might have to stay.
Meanwhile there?s so many things
That I don?t understand.
I don?t know why I tremble
When you reach for my hand.
I didn?t know how to love
Until you swept me away.
Say the word
And I just might listen.
Say the word,
And you might get your way.
Loving you should be easier
But say the word,
And I might have to stay.
I wanna love.
I wanna ride.
I want to be the girl
There by your side.
Just tell me when,
Just tell me how.
Tell me I?m ready now.
Today.
Say,
Say the word
And I just might listen.
Say the word,
And you might get your way.
Loving you should be easier
But say the word,
And I might have to stay."
