You're the only one
I'm depending on,
If you go I would be blue,
You'd take away the sun.
So I beg of you
Try to understand,
There's no room for words unsaid
Or feelings left to chance.
CHORUS:
I got to let you know that I love you,
I got to let you know that I care;
I got to let you know that for you
I'll always be there.
Friends say I'm a fool
Not to play it cool,
But I don't mind bein' the only
Exception to the rule.
Got a burnin' love
I'm always dreaming of;
When you smile it's all worthwhile
That for me's enough.
CHORUS:
I got to let you know that I love you,
I got to let you know that I care;
I got to let you know that for you
I'll always be there.
Please don't be surprised
I'm not one to disguise;
What I feel I know is true
You've got to realize.
Love is like a bell
There's just one way to tell,
If it's real it's going to ring
That is why I sing.
CHORUS:
I got to let you know that I love you,
I got to let you know that I care;
I got to let you know that for you
I'll always be there. (oh, yeah)
I got to let you know that I love you,
I got to let you know that I care;
I got to let you know that for you
