Lyrics
VERSE
Moonlit night, feelin' so right
Sweet, sweet kiss; now I gotta tell you this
You may think I want you to, but I don't
FIRST CHORUS
If you're about to say you love me, please don't
I can see you think you know what I want
You believe you really know me, but you don't
You think your love could hold me, but it won't
So like I said, if you're about to say you love me, please don't
VERSE
Country road, radio, back seat
Starry night, top down, hangin' out, bare feet
I think I might want you to, but I don't
Repeat FIRST CHORUS
BRIDGE
Hearts on the line, promises to keep
Kisses like wine, fallin' so deep
You may think I want you to, and I do
SECOND CHORUS
If you're about to say you love me, please do
Is it okay if I say I love you, too?
You believe you really know me, and you do
You think your love could hold me -- me, too
So like I said, if you're about to say you love me, please do
RIDE
THIRD CHORUS
If you're about to say you love me, please do
Is it okay if I say I love you, too?
So like I said, if you're about to say you love me, please do
TAG
So like I said, if you're about to say you love me, please do
