Lyrics
I Can Tell
Verse 1
I can tell that you want to love me (but you won't) and I can tell that you want to show me (but you don't) is there a reason that you're holding back from me (I don't know) worried about your boys and the things that they think (that's so low) and I can tell that you want to be here with me (but you go) and I can tell that I'm the one that you need (that's for sure) and I can tell that you want to tell me you don't, baby you don't, you don't, you don't.
Chorus
There's no way I could ever replace your love and can't you tell you're the one that I'm thinking of. I'll reassure you that it's going to be alright baby I'll hold you down for life.
Verse 2
Baby I can tell you that with me you'll have everything (so you know) and I can tell you there's no place that you should be (so come home) and I can tell you, tell you so many things (with these words) but you and I know there's nothing like showing (don't let go). Then you can tell me I'm the one that you see (in your dreams) and you can tell me you don't care what they think (you for me) and maybe you'll tell me that you're in love with me so come on, baby come on, come on, come on.
Chorus
There's no way I could ever replace your love and can't you tell you're the one that I'm thinking of. I'll reassure you that it's going to be alright baby I'll hold you down for life.
Bridge
Baby I can tell you tell you and you can tell me tell me. You know I can tell you tell you, so can you tell me, tell me.
