Must You Use The Word "Love"?

- W Ross Campbell

 

Must you use the word "Love"?

I know you're fond of me

You know I think the world of you

But when you use the word "Love" the time confuses me

And I forget I'm only passing through

​

Must you always say "We"?

As though we'll never part

As though I'll never say goodbye

And must I know when I leave

That you'll be torn apart?

Must you set yourself up just to cry?

​

Please don't misunderstand me

It's not that I don't feel 

That surge of warmth when you come in

 That signals something real

​

Come and lie down by my side

And put your lips to mine

And whisper to me what you're thinking of

But don't be shocked if I say

When you've been whispering

Darling, must you use the word "Love"?
