I know you and you know me
We've got a special kind of lovin' it seems
But sometimes I, I wonder why
You never tell me what you're feeling inside
'Cause even though we're young
What we've got is strong
Still I need to know
I need to hear you say it 'cause
Love is the greatest word
Don't hold it in
You've got to let it be heard
Baby, love is the greatest word
Don't let it go unspoken
Don't let this heart be broken
You can bring me wine and valentines
Take me away to a paradise
To a paradise
But that simple word
The sweetest I've heard
It means much more than anything in the world
So open up your heart
Tell me what's inside
When it comes to that emotion
It's too easy to hide
Baby, love is the greatest word
Don't hold it in
You've got to let it be heard
Baby, love is the greatest word
Don't let it go unspoken
Don't let this heart be broken
Even though
I read it in your eyes
I feel it in your kisses
I've still got to hear it
No need to shout
Whisper the word
Let it be heard
Baby, won't you tell me you love me
Let me know how you feel
Baby, love is the greatest word
'Cause even though we're young
What we've got is strong
Still I need to know
I need to hear you tell me you love me
Tell me that you love me
Baby, love is the greatest word
Love is the greatest word
Don't hold it in
You've got to let it be heard
The sweetest of them all
Baby, love is the greatest word
Don't let it go unspoken
Don't let this heart be broken
You've got to tell me what's inside
Tell me that this love's alive
Yeah, yeah
Love is the greatest word
So don't let it go unspoken
Don't let this heart be broken
