Neil Diamond — First You Have To Say You Love Me lyrics

First you have to say you love me
It's no good unless you do
'Cause I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you

Yes, I need to hear forever
And if forever it never comes
Well at least I heard you say it
If only just for once
Just like you,
I need to be remembered

Just like you
I need to know you care
It takes to of us to be together
Just like one
When it's said and done
That's only fair

We could live for just the moment
But that moment it's gonna pass
Can't you see it's now or never
But if we need to be together
It's time for you and me to say forever
For how's it gonna last

Yes, I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you
