Well, it’s Valentine’s Day. I didn’t mean for it to work out this way, but it did. Here’s a silly love song (Didn’t McCartney say we’d had enough of them?). This was recorded using a lousy guitar, and built-in speakers in my computer, while at a hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa.

I’ve got some friends who say that you miss me
And you think of me all of the time
How could you walk away from me, baby
You know that you were meant to be mine
Three little words are are all that I’m asking
I need to hear them first from you
You told me you told me, but I never heard it
So how can I know that it’s true
I just need you to say you love me
Baby tell me just one more time
You say it first, and I’ll say it right back to you
Baby it’s a state of mind
We sat in the cafe talked about music
Religion, politics and guns
The guy on the stage he was playing too loudly
That’s when you claim that the dead was done
I heard you speak, but I didn’t hear clearly
I asked you to say it again
I heard “I” and I heard “you”
But I didn’t hear what came in between
I just need you to say you love me
Baby tell me just one more time
You say it first, and I’ll say it right back to you
Baby it’s a state of mind
I just need you to say you love me
Baby tell me just one more time
You say it first, and I’ll say it right back to you
Baby it’s a state of mind
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me one more time
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me, and I’ll make you mine
I’ve never wanted for fear to be master
And so I’ll have to stand him down
Letting you go would be a disaster
It’s time for me to grab the crown
I’ll swallow my pride and I’ll banish my worries
I’ll tell you what I’m going to do
I’m going to tell just what I’m thinking
I’m thinking that I love you
I just need you to say you love me
Baby tell me just one more time
You say it first, and I’ll say it right back to you
Baby it’s a state of mind
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me one more time
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me, and I’ll make you mine
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
