Don't Say That
Olivia Newton-John · Back with a Heart [1998]
I love you, I want you, I need you
All the lines I've heard
I'm wanting so much to believe you
But don't use words
By the look in your eyes, I see you're getting weak
Please fight the urge to speak
And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Don't say that
Just hold me and show me you love me
That says it all
These moments of tenderness
Mean so much more
And we'll get there eventually
So please be patient with me
And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Don't say we'll last forever
We'll always be together
Just lay here silently next to me
And don't say that
Don't say that, no
Don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Your kiss is all of the proof I need
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Oh don't say that
Don't speak, don't talk
Just hold me honey
You don't have to use words
Just hold me honey
No need to speak
No, no, no, no don't use words
(I want you, I need you, I love you)
(I just can't stop thinking of you)
All the lines I've heard
I'm wanting so much to believe you
But don't use words
By the look in your eyes, I see you're getting weak
Please fight the urge to speak
And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Don't say that
Just hold me and show me you love me
That says it all
These moments of tenderness
Mean so much more
And we'll get there eventually
So please be patient with me
And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Don't say we'll last forever
We'll always be together
Just lay here silently next to me
And don't say that
Don't say that, no
Don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Your kiss is all of the proof I need
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Oh don't say that
Don't speak, don't talk
Just hold me honey
You don't have to use words
Just hold me honey
No need to speak
No, no, no, no don't use words
(I want you, I need you, I love you)
(I just can't stop thinking of you)
