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?
