Well, I know it’s kind of late, I hope I didn’t wake you,
But what I got to say can’t wait, I know you’d understand.
Ev’rytime I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong,
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.
Yeah, I know it’s kind of strange but ev’rytime I’m near you,
I just run out of things to say, I know you’d understand.
Ev’rytime I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong,
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.
(Instrumental) ‘Cause everytime the time was right all the words just came out wrong,
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.
Yeah, I know it’s kind of late, I hope I didn’t wake you,
But there’s something that I just got to say, I know you’d understand.
‘Cause ev’rytime I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong,
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.
