WHAT I MEANT TO SAY

Let's just say I care for you how a man cares for his friends-
I'll stand by you through ups and downs, from the beginnings to bitter ends-

What I meant to say is that I love you and I'll be there when you need me-
I'd give my right arm in your stead, I'll die for you, if need be-

Let's just say you are my girl. Yeah, come tell me about your day-
I promise not to interject, I'll listen to what you say-

What I meant to say is I adore you and I want to ease your pain-
I'll hang on each and every word and shield you from the rain-

Let's just say you can rely on me when no one else is near-
I'll let you lean upon me, friend, until the pain's not there-

What I meant to say.... What I meant to say is I need you, maybe more than you can see-
and given half the chance, my love, I'd ask you to marry me.... That's what I meant to say.... I love you, I adore you, and I need you.....
