These 3 Words

[Stevie Wonder Sample]: The one for whom you'd give your very life Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye Through you tears you'd ask why did you go Knowing you didn't always show Just how much you loved them so "These three words" [Verse One]: I don't know if I can say it And then if I say it I don't know how you gon' take it I don't even know what to call it when we naked I said it's "sex" you said, "love making" I thought that it was lust You call it "trust" I said you gave it up You met my moms like once You said it's been years, I counted like 30 months But I guess that's the same That's why she left, she said I was playin' games Last week I saw her, I was walkin' to the train She was drivin' in a Range, lookin' good, I said, "I love you girl." But I don't think that she heard I don't know why I couldn't just say the words I hardly said 'em to my father Maybe as a kid but it got a little harder As I got older I really didn't bother Same for my grand mom, both of 'em passed on And then I'm at the church Missin' my folks, feelin' like the worst Not knowin' if they knew what they were worth Maybe that's why that shawty was so hurt Damn [Chorus]: It's so hard to say It's much easier to walk away Then say "I love you" It's so sad and wrong That I can probably use a rap or a song to say "I love you" I can say "I got love" I can say "I care for you" I can say "I really like you" I can say "I'm there for you" [Verse Two]: Look, I've been horizontal with a lady that I swore I love I'm for real, I felt it, I adored her Her look, her smell, cute face, waist small She would always through the 'L' word out and I would stall I'd say I'd care, "You the best girl you dope." She would say, "I love you." I would say, "No you don't." Stop playin', I would try to change the subject I would say, "Stimuli's the person that you're in love with." And I think that she cried But I don't remember cause I was still inside her, I think it was November She was gone December, I kinda took it hard So I wrote the three words at the end of a Christmas card She ain't care though [Chorus]: It's so hard to say It's much easier to walk away Then say "I love you" It's so sad and wrong That I can probably use a rap or a song to say "I love you" I can say "I got love" I can say "I care for you" I can say "I really like you" I can say "I'm there for you" [Verse Three]: I think I don't tell my mother too much And I don't tell my brother enough And I don't tell my friends at all You wanna hear it just spin this song I guess that's wrong See I'm tryin' to grow, I feel like I'm about to blow and that's scary Cause every time that I get poppin' I'm losin' those people that's near me Can you hear me? I love my team and I love my fam so does that mean If I don't say it will they know their dreams are mine and vice versa Will I be a trife person if I don't tell everyone that ever believe? If I try to give folks what I think that they need In place of what they want Will I seem real mean if I change my number after gettin' more cream? If I don't say it, is that wack? If I don't say it, it's in the track If I don't say it, it's in my actions If I don't say it just run this back I love y'all
