You've Got To Let Love Show (Steven D. Cohen, Rick Lagneaux)

She won't be coming through our bedroom door
After putting the kids to sleep
She won't be reminding me anymore
About promises I just wouldn't keep

She needed someone to listen and look inside her soul
A partner to rely on, more than a body just to hold
But I took it all for granted,
And Never knew what I should have known
You can't just say I love you, You've got to let love show

No apoligies will ever have to come
For all the fights I started, but never won
Still miss my favorite meals on Thursday nights
Sometimes wonder, how it'd been if I done it right

She needed someone to listen and look inside her soul
A partner to rely on, more than a body just to hold
But I took it all for granted,
And never knew what I should have known
You can't just say I love you, You've got to let love show

I'm devastated when I think of how you tried
It's complicated as I look into your eyes
Silent words of love's poverty ring loudly in my ears
And as you pull away from me, my whole world disappears

She needed someone to listen and look inside her soul
A partner to rely on, more than a body just to hold
But I took it all for granted,
And never knew what I should have known
You can't just say I love you, You've got to let love show
