I've been phoning night and morning I heard you say "tell him I'm not home" Now you're confessing, But I'm still guessing I've been your fool for so so long Girl don't lie, just to save my feelings Girl don't cry, and tell me nothing's wrong Girl don't try to make up phony reasons I'd rather leave than never believe If this is it, please let me know If this ain't love you'd better let me go If this is it, I want to know If this ain't love baby, just say so You've been thinking And I've been drinking We both know that it's just not right Now you're pretending That it's not ending You'll say anything to avoid a fight Girl don't lie, and tell me that you need me Girl don't cry, and tell me nothing's wrong I'll be alright one way or another So let me go, or make we want to stay If this is it, please let me know If this ain't love you'd better let me know If this is it, I want to know If this ain't love baby, just say so
