Well, I know it's kinda late.

I hope I didn't wake you.

But what I gotta say can't wait,

I know you'd understand.

Every time 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 kinda strange.

Every time I'm near you,

I just run out of things to say.

I know you'd understand.

Every time I tried to tell you,

The words just came out wrong,

So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Know you'd understand.

Every time I tried to tell you,

The words just came out wrong
