Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turm me away
Don't be playin' the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

On T.V. and in the movies and in nearly every song
People say the words, "I love you" 'til the meaning's nearly gone
If you've never felt the way that only true love makes you feel
Then you still won't understand it and no words can make it real.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

It's all right to say you like me or I'm fun to be around
But don't say love unless you mean it 'cause that really brings me down
This is not a one-time feeling I'm not out for just a thrill
And I've got to know for certain that your love for me is real.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing a game if you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

Don't say love if you don't mean what you say
Don't say love and then turn me away
Don't be playing the game that you don't know the meaning of
And if you can't say forever don't say love.

And if you can't say forever don't say love...
