Lyrics
My friends all tell me
Friends advise the speaker
Go to him, run to him
Encouragement to approach the person
Say sweet lovely things to him
Express affectionate words to him
And tell him, he's the one
Acknowledge his significance
Deep in my heart I know it
Confident about love internally
But it's so hard to show it
Difficulty in demonstrating love
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Expressing love is challenging
My buddies tell me
Advice from friends continues
Fly to him, sigh to him
Suggests flying to him
Tell him I would die for him
Express willingness to sacrifice
And tell him, he's the one
Reaffirm his importance
Although he gives me a feeling
Feelings evoked by him
That sets my heart a-reeling
Intense emotional response
Yet it's easier, easier said than done
Despite feelings, expressing is tough
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
Acknowledges deep love
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Fear he won't reciprocate
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Shyness hinders expression
Each time that I look him in the eye
Difficulty making eye contact
They all tell me
Repetition of advice
Sing to him, swing with him
Suggests singing and spending time
And just do anything for him
Advocates doing anything for him
And tell him, he's the one
Reiteration of his importance
I got a love so true
Conflicted emotions despite true love
And yet I'm sad and blue
Sadness and blue feelings persist
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Reaffirms expressing love is challenging
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
Reiteration of deep love
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Fear of unreciprocated love persists
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Shyness inhibits expression
Each time that I look him in the eye
Challenge of eye contact remains
They all tell me
Continued advice from others
Sing to him, swing with him
Encourages singing and bonding
And just do anything for him
Advocates any action for him
And tell him, he's the one
Emphasizes his importance again
I got a love so true
Despite true love, sadness persists
And yet I'm sad and blue
Reiterates expressing love is difficult
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Challenges of expressing love reiterated
Easier-er-er-er, said than done
Highlighting the difficulty with emphasis
