you've got to say what's on your mind
don't be afraid to show it
say what's on your mind
or how will I know it?
there's so little time...
say what's on your mind

the last time we were together
such a sadness in your eyes
behind the poise, small talk and make-up
I could see what you labored so hard to disguise
what we both know; there's so much that's unsaid
though we try not to let it show
too many words go unspoken now
we sit in silence and don't ask why
come on baby, we can't let this time roll by

say what's on your mind
don't wait another day
say what's on your mind
let love show us the way
things will work out fine
if you just say what's on your mind
say what's on your mind

seems like it's been such a long time
waiting for this story to unfold
we've got love here at our fingertips
all we've got to do is take a hold

now I'm looking for affirmation
I can't assume what I've got to know
but you leave me mostly to speculation
about the love you feel when you don't tell me so
how many years has it been now?
yet how much do we really know...
give me a sign, help me to understand
please don't leave me guessing, tell me what you see
it doesn't have to be such a mystery

tell me what's on your mind
let your heart have it's say
say what's on your mind
don't let another chance slip away
there's too little time
say what's on your...

say what's on your mind
don't be afraid to show it
say what's on your mind
or how will I ever know it?
there's so little time...
say what's on your mind
