Would a river be a river if no one gave it a name ?
Would a fire burn just as bright if a flame weren't called a flame ?
Girl, you want to hear me say a simple "I love you"
But I can't bring myself to speak the words you want me to

Call it anything you want, girl
But don't call it love
Call it anything you want, girl
I'll know what you're thinking of

(Don't you call it love)

Don't call it love, girl
Don't call it love
Call it anything you want, girl
But no, no, no
Don't you call it love

You're the sun in my morning, you are the place I live
You're the seasons of my life I need you and all you give
Well, if that's not enough right now to keep you hangin' on
Then tell me, girl, that you need more
And tomorrow I'll be gone
