Simple Words

Lynn Anderson · How Can I Unlove You [1971]

(Glenn Sutton)



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...
