• Excuse me if I stutter
    I’m just a little scared
    I can’t quite find the words to say
    But, hell, I know they’re there

    I don’t know how to say this
    I’m not sure where to start
    I want to speak before I think
    But I don’t trust my heart

    I guess I’ve got to do it
    Before I change my mind
    Not knowing would be harder
    Than if you just declined

    So give me a straight answer
    And promise me it’s true
    Just tell me what first comes to mind
    When I say, “I love you.”
