Story Behind The Song
The scene starts in a bedroom after making love. The man catches a distraught stare from his wife. He can't guess to understand a woman's emotional state after making love. She shares her needs and exposes her feelings like so many times before. In the end he begins to understand and pleads for her to give him another chance to make her feel what she needs. Sympathetic not pathetic.

Lyrics
THREE LITTLE WORDS
Wade Richardson
copyright 2003
Verse1
What did I do? Why are you starin? at me like that?
I don?t think I deserve that troubled look
Just after we made love
I saw that tear, why are you cryin? baby like that?
I gave you everything I didn?t hold back
What didn?t you get enough of?
Chorus
Three Little words
That I didn?t hear
What you didn?t say
Is perfectly clear
When we made love
One part you didn?t touch
Three little words
That end with so much
Verse 2
What did I say? I could have sworn that I said that
Didn?t I tell you just how good you looked
Just before we made love?
Lay down right here, baby I?m sorry you feel like that
Stay in my arms and I promise to
Make you feel all of my love
Repeat Chorus
