Do I Have To Say The Words

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me -- darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me -- darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free -- darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Rescue me -- darlin rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Come to me -- darlin' rescue me
