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
