Do I Have to Say the Words? Lyrics

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 needing 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
Help me please - darling, rescue me
Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see - darling, rescue me
