Couldn`t I Just Tell You — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn`t have to make me feel like a fool
When I try to say I feel the way that I do
I want to talk to you
And make it loud and clear
though you don`t care to hear

Couldn`t I just tell you the way I feel
I can`t keep it bottled up inside
And could we pretend that it`s no big deal
And there`s really nothing left to hide

Something sure doesn`t seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
Why can`t I talk with you
And put it in your ear though you don`t care to hear

Hear me out
Why don`t you lend me an ear
You`ve got no reason to fear
I`ll make it perfectly clear
I love you

I don`t come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I`m not a coward if that`s what you believe
And I`m not afraid but not ashamed if it`s true
I got to talk with you
And then I`ll make it clear
