First You Have to Say You Love Me
Embracing Love's Assurance: Neil Diamond's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
First you have to say you love me
Expressing the necessity of hearing the declaration of love as a prerequisite.
It's no good unless you do
Emphasizing that mere words hold no value unless the confession of love is sincere.
'Cause I need to hear you love me
Stressing the personal need to hear the affirmation of love, similar to the need of the addressed individual.
Baby, just like you
Highlighting the reciprocity in the desire to hear expressions of love.
Yes, I need to hear forever
Expressing the longing to hear words of eternal love.
And if forever it never comes
Contemplating the possibility that eternal love might not materialize.
Well at least I heard you say it
Emphasizing the importance of hearing the confession of love, even if it's just once.
If only just for once
Expressing the significance of hearing the affirmation, even if only briefly.
Just like you,
Reiterating the need for similar treatment or acknowledgment as the addressed individual.
I need to be remembered
Expressing the desire to be remembered akin to the addressed individual's desire.
Just like you
Reinforcing the desire for mutual acknowledgment or assurance.
I need to know you care
Expressing the necessity of knowing that the addressed individual cares.
It takes to of us to be together
Implying the necessity of both parties for a successful relationship.
Just like one
Emphasizing unity between the two individuals in a relationship.
When it's said and done
Asserting the fairness in seeking acknowledgment or commitment.
That's only fair
Expressing the importance of fairness in relationships when it comes to declarations and commitments.
We could live for just the moment
Contemplating the possibility of living in the present moment only.
But that moment it's gonna pass
Highlighting the transient nature of moments and experiences.
Can't you see it's now or never
Stressing the urgency of acknowledging the importance of the present moment and commitment.
But if we need to be together
Expressing the necessity of being together, implying commitment.
It's time for you and me to say forever
Stating the need for a mutual declaration of commitment to ensure the relationship's continuity.
For how's it gonna last
Questioning the sustainability of a relationship without declarations of commitment.
Yes, I need to hear you love me
Reiterating the personal need to hear expressions of love similar to the need of the addressed individual.
Baby, just like you
Highlighting the reciprocity in the desire to hear expressions of love.
