Gordon Lightfoot
I Want To Hear It From You
[Verse 1]
I want to hear it from you
I want to hear it from one who should know how it is
All the second-hand words seem to get in my way
I want to hear it from you

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
I want to hear it from you
