Lyrics

I want to tell you

Copyright Kelly Steven Johnson 1991, 2007
verse – D C/G Bb/G
chorus – D F C G D

I want to tell you
what you do to me
I see you there
sittin' in front o' me
I wish I could tell what
you are thinking
but I can't

I look up
out my window
all I see are
clouds a-billowin'
the blue sky
see's my beckoning
but I can't get
through to you

Why can't you
understand me?

I thought I knew
what you were saying
on that night that
we were alone for once
I never get a chance
to say what I want to say
come to me just come to me

See the sea
all a churnin'
bit like me
in my yearnin'
yer last touch
is still burnin'
deep inside me

Why can't you
understand me?
Why can't you
understand me?

I saw a light
come on in my head
on that night there
in your bed
I looked at you and
then I knew
you are the only one I could spend the rest of time

But since that night
I look out my window
I don't see the light of love's blissful morning
in fact it's cold
the world is really quite lonely

Why can't you
understand me?
Why can't you
understand me?
