Out Loud

First thing you should know about me

I've always been a man of my word

Secondly please know that I take everythin'

For what it's worth

Now it's 3AM, 'n' the bars are all closed

'N' you come over alone

'Cause you were just thinkin' of me

Sayin' how since we've been together

The world has been so much better

Then you lean over 'n'tell me you love me

You've been patiently awaitin'

For me to say it, say it out loud

'N' I want to, 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around

'Cause when I tell you everythin' I'm feelin'

Every word is straight from my heart

If I speak it, best believe it

That I mean it, if I say it out loud

I've been there before I took it way too fast

Hardest lesson I ever learned

Know you can throw it out and take it back

It's such an easy way to get burned

Oh, I want the best for you

I got so much respect for you

I will never hurt you, my dear

I'm now tryin' to build this trust

'N' I don't wanna fill it up with the things

That you think you want to hear

You've been patiently awaitin'

For me to say it, say it out loud

'N' I want to, 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around

'Cause when I tell you everythin' I'm feelin'

Every word is straight from my heart

If I speak it, best believe it

That I mean it, if I say it out loud

Three little words, three little words

Three little words, so complicated

Three little words, three little words

Three little words, so complicated

You've been patiently awaitin' (awaitin')

For me to say it, say it out loud

'N' I want to (ooh), 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around (come around)

'Cause when I tell you everythin' I'm feelin'

Every word is straight from my heart (heart)

If I speak it, best believe it

That I need it, if I say it out loud (loud)

Now it's patiently awaitin'

For me to say it, if I say it out loud
