Love comes along
Like a puppy dog
And it runs away like a puma
When I say I love you
You don't have to run
Baby, if you want to say um
If love was a contest
And they made me a judge
You'd win all the awards,
Prizes, and such
When I say I love you
If you don't think I'm the one
Baby, if you want to say um
Say um
A screenwriter ought
To take our dialogue
And make a movie script
Loosely based on us
If I say I love you
But, you're just having fun
Baby, if you want to say um
Say um
When I'm with you

I time how long you hold me
Before you let go
It's never long enough
Love comes along
Like a puppy dog
And it runs away like a puma
I'll understand
If you don't feel like I do
But, I really hope that you'll
Say I love you too
I hope you don't say um
But, you don't have to run
If you don't think I'm the one
Or, if you're just having fun
I hope you don't say um
I hope you don't say um
But, baby if you want to say um
Say um
