You Love Me by John Speckine

Words and music ©1982, 2003, 2016, 2025 by John Speckine

I always used to be alone, I never thought I'd be
Sharing life with anyone; I liked my being free
And I never thought that I'd find someone, anyway
I never knew that I'd meet you some day

I never was a ladies' man, I didn't start to date
'Til I was almost 17 - I guess I started late
And I guess I wasn't quite what they thought I should be
I never thought you'd love me for just me

CHORUS 1:
There are things that I have done I regretted that I did
There are sometimes when I act like I'm still a kid
But you love me anyway, and every morning you still say
You love me

CHORUS 2:
Even when I make mistakes, you stay by my side
When you know I need your love, you open your arms wide
You're my lover, you're my friend - I'll be with you 'til the end
Believe me

We are living in a world where love is just a game
People all around you say that it is all the same
But you and I, we know the truth, and we know it well
And where I'd be without you, I can't tell

CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2

Love was once a long, hard road I dared not walk upon
But with you to guide my way, I know I can go on
All directions point to you - you're the only way
And where I'd be without you, I can't say
