Yeah, yeah, I know Joe Tex is the original!

Everybody has got somebody yes they do (all right)
And everybody's got their own way of saying I love you (oh yes they have)
The sooner you say it - the better it is
The softer you whisper it - the better it feels
Just make sure that when you say it, be for real

S. Y. S. L. J. F. M. - save your sweet love just for me
D. K. W. I. M. T. M. - you don't know what it means to me
D. E. T. Y. S. L. A. - don't ever take your sweet love away
I. C. L. M. L. T. W. - I can't live my life that way

Everybody has got somebody they love to talk about (and I got somebody)
Everybody's got their own way of unwinding when they feel down and out (yes they have)
The sooner you unwind - the better it is
The easiest way you do it - the better it feels
Just make sure that when you do it, be for real

Y. C. C. M. A. O. T. - you can call me any old time
T. C. A. H. Y. T. U. - to come and help you to unwind
S. Y. S. L. J. F. M. - save your sweet love just for me
D. K. W. I. M. T. M. - don't know what it means to me

D. E. T. Y. S. L. A. - don't ever take your sweet love away
I. C. L. M. L. T. W. - I can't live my life that way
