Aah...
Verse 1
Did I hear you say you love me?
Well baby, I've got to know.
'Cos if you really feel you love me,
You've got to do things to show.
Don't give me the wrong impression,
By showing me warm ex-pressions.
Put me in the right direction,
With tender love and af-fection.
Chorus 1
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.
Verse 2
Did I hear you say you need me?
Well baby, tell me the truth.
'Cos if you really feel you need me,
My sweetness, here's what I'll do;
Cut out all my crazy playing,
'Cos for your love I have been laying.
Just tell me that is what you're saying,
And I'll be yours without delaying.
Chorus 2
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.
Bridge 1
'Cos if you love me, honey, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me, honey, let me hear you say; (I love you).
Well, if you love me, honey, let me hear you say; (I love you).
Interlude
Verse 3
Did I hear you say you want me?
Now please don't give me no mess.
'Cos if you really, really want me,
You've got to give me your best.
Put my love life right in the pocket,
And dare someone to try to top it.
And when you think I want to drop it;
Just love me 'till I beg don't stop it.
Chorus 3
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.

If you love me, honey, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you want me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you want me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
