How Can I? - Mike + The Mechanics, Paul Carrack

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?
