Why Can't I Say [I Love You, Babe] lyrics

I'm layin' down the cards

I never thought it was so hard

Why can't I let it be?

Oh, darlin', you're too fine

To be wholly and totally mine

But I just live in your company, tell me

Why can't I say I love you, babe?

I'm not so sure you feel the same thing

Why can't I say I need you, babe, babe?

Why can't I say it?

Why can't I say it?

We could be sweet lovers

But it's pure fantasy

The only thing I've got is your perfume

And it will be enough for me

To dream about you

And I've heard some people say, say

Love moves mountains, don't cry babe

Yes, but it takes two

So why can't I say I love you, babe?

I'm not so sure you feel the same thing

Why can't I say I need you, babe?

Why can't I say it, say it?

And I need you more

And when you hear this song, don't laugh at me

I beg you, honey, don't do it, don't do it

So why can't I say I love you, babe?

I'm not so sure you feel the same thing

Why can't I say I need you, babe?

Why can't I say it, say it?

And I need you more

I need you, babe

But I'm not so sure you feel the same thing

Why can't I say I, I love you, babe?

Why can't I say it?

Why?
