Inspired by a line from a letter printed in a magazine. The original version was pure Casio '80s pop until we put this slightly countrified spin on it.
lyrics
Though I hear it from you everyday
Lately girl I just can’t believe it
It’s only said when you need something to say
You never make it sound like you mean it
Those three words that people say don’t mean anything to you
Next time try to look me in the eye
When love is for real it’s not just playing a part
Next time you tell me that you love me
It’s gotta come from the heart
Somehow I knew we couldn’t last for long
You don’t think, you just smile and say it
Like it’ll fix up everything that’s wrong
Sorry honey, that just doesn’t make it
That little phrase you always use means nothing at all to you
All that I’m asking is that you mean it when you say it
If you want my love that’s the only price
Are you willing to pay it
