I Want to Hear It from You Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

I want to hear it from you, I want to hear it from someone who knows how it is,
All the second-hand words seem to get in my way, I want to hear it from you.

I want to hear it again, I want to know if the soft scented touch of your lips
Must be taken away like a mother's first kiss to the life that she gives, I want to hear it from you.

I've got a right to get it straight from you, to give my life a different point of view,
To find a way to keep from losing you.

If you don't know what to say, to understand is my life and the question is why
You should cry in the night while your eyes look away
Every time that I speak and there's nothing to say,
I want to hear it from you, I want to hear it from you.

Let me know how you feel, you've got to make up your mind,
Tell me where I can run, when my roof tumbles in?
I want to hear it from you, I want to hear it from you.
