 Oh I can  t keep it in, I can t keep it in, I ve gotta  let it out.
 I ve got  to show the world, worlds got to see, see  all the love
 love that s in me. I said, why  walk alone, why worry when its
warm  over here. You ve got so  much to say, say what you mean,
mean  what you re thinking, and think anything.
 Oh why,  why must you waste  you re life away,
 You ve got to live  for today,  then let it go
 Oh, lover,  I want to spend  this time with you,
 There s nothing I  wouldn t do,  if you let me know.
 And I can  t keep it in, I cant hide it and I can  t lock it away.
 I m up  for your love, love heats my blood,
Blood  spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh.
 No, I can  t keep it in, I can t keep it in, I ve gotta  let it out.
 I ve gotta  show the world, world s got to know,
Know  of the love, love that lies low, so
why  can t you say, if you know, then why  can t you say.
 You ve got too  much deceit, deceit kills the light,
light  needs to shine, I said shine light , shine light.
Love,  that s no way to live  your life,
 You allow too much  to go by,  and that won t do.
 No, lover,  I want to have you here  by my side
 Now don t you run,  don t you hide,  while I m with you.
 No I can  t keep it in, I can t keep it in, I ve gotta  let it out.
 I ve got  to show the world, worlds got to see, see  all the love
 love that s in me. I said, why  walk alone, why worry when it s
warm  over here. You ve got so  much to say, say what you mean,
mean  what you re thinking, and think anything. why not?
 Now why why why not?
