How can I tell you
And sound like I mean what I say?
You turned a light on in me
And it shines to this day
Once it was easy
To open my heart up to you
Now you know the way
That I'm feeling better than I do
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
I think you sometimes
Forget how I feel about you
You come alive every time
That the message gets through
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
Sooner or later
The penny will drop and you'll see
That I don't want anyone else
And you only need me
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
How can I tell you and make you believe what I say?
And sound like I mean what I say?
You turned a light on in me
And it shines to this day
Once it was easy
To open my heart up to you
Now you know the way
That I'm feeling better than I do
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
I think you sometimes
Forget how I feel about you
You come alive every time
That the message gets through
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
Sooner or later
The penny will drop and you'll see
That I don't want anyone else
And you only need me
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
How can I tell you and make you believe what I say?
