"You Never Have to Say it"

by Jeph Johnson


You never have to say it like the others did before

Because when uttered carelessly the meaning is ignored
I find myself muttering the words you need not say
Falling from my mouth in an impassioned disarray
My heart and mind and reasoning shout this soliloquy
I can't help myself Samantha, for you're loveable as can be
I love you, I love you, I love you, and all you do for me
You never have to say it, and yet I still agree
I've been known to force the issue when it comes to stuff like this
But when your lips begin to part I hush you with my kiss
Yes, please don't say I love you, you'll jinx it all for sure
You never have to say it cuz you show it with your words
And you say it with your actions, and your kindness everyday
You never have to say it, because you find a better way
