What I Meant to Say Lyrics


I pick the day, I pick the place
I pick the flowers for the table
Have the phrases memorized so carefullyYou walk in smiling and
Suddenly my minds unable
To focus on these things so dear to meWhat I meant to say is that Im in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to sayThere are many pleasant things
I can keep my mind distracted
We can laugh and talk till evening, hours awayHere it is on the tip of my tongue
Im so hopelessly attracted
But if I try to tell you the words will strayWhat I meant to say is that Im in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to sayI found more love than I can tell you ofIts a simple honest thing
Just to close my eyes and tell you
Therell be one less person in your arms tonightWhat I meant to say is that Im in love
I never felt like this before

Hes so good to me and I know that we
Had to be together, my babyWhat I meant to say is that Im in love
I never felt like this before
I can tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Bangles were one of the new generation of independent all-women bands that followed The Go-Go's in the early 1980s. Consisting of Susanna Hoffs (guitar, vocals), Debbi Peterson (drums, vocals), sister Vicki Peterson (guitar, vocals,) and Annette Zilinskas, who was later replaced by Michael Steele, (bass, vocals). The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1981 as The Supersonic Bangs, later shortened to The Bangs. They were forced to change their name to the Bangles when a band from New Jersey, also named the Bangs, threatened to sue. The single 'Manic Monday', written by Prince launched their international career. After 3 successful albums ("All Over The Place", "Different Light" and "Everything"), The Bangles broke up.
Susanna Hoffs released two solo albums in the 90's (a third album remained unreleased). Vicki Peterson joined the Continental Drifters. Debbie Peterson had a short-lived career with Siobhan Maher as Kindred Spirit, while Michael Steele lived in semi-retirement in California.

The Bangles reconvened in 2000 and recorded a reunion album, released in 2003, on Koch Records called "Doll Revolution". By lucky coincidence(?) their single 'Eternal Flame' had since been covered by, and become a hit record for, Atomic Kitten which helped to rekindle interest in its original artist.

"Sweetheart of the Sun," The Bangles first album of original material since "Doll Revolution" was released September 27, 2011. The Anna Lee (Sweetheart Of The Sun) Songfacts states that the album was recorded in various home studios - those of Vicki Peterson and Susanna Hoffs as well as the Hollywood Hills home studio of singer-songwriter Matthew Sweet, who produced the record.
