Couldn't I Just Tell You

Keep your head and everything will be cool

You didn't have to make me feel like a fool

When I try to say I feel the way that I do

I want to talk to you

And make it load and clear

Though you don't care to hearCouldn't I just tell you the way I feel

I can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hideSomething sure doesn't seem right to me

When you can turn your back whenever you please

And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu

Why can't I talk with you

And put it in your ear though you don't care to hearHear me out

Why don't you lend me an ear

You've got no reason to fear

I'll make it perfectly clear

I love you
