I wanna tell you you're beautiful In a way that you have not heard before But I don't think that it's gonna work 'Cause I'm not good with words I wanna tell you you're the reason why The Earth spins and the stars hang in the sky But I don't think that it's gonna fly 'Cause I'm not good with words If I could only find a way To say it like them poets say A sweet and simple serenade Directly from my heart If only I could speak aloud Just what I feel when you're around I'd finally profess my love in verse But I'm not good with words If I was just like Shakespeare Whispering sweet sonnets in your ear I'd tell you everything you want to hear But I'm not good with words If only I could speak the truth The way that all them poets do Sing a sweet and simple tune Directly to your heart If only I could verbalize Just what I feel deep down inside Finally I'd break this silent curse But I'm not good with words Sentences and conversations Only bring me complications When it comes to love I'm useless Full of bad excuses and confessions gone unheard If I could only find a way To say it like them poets say Sing a simple serenade Directly to your heart If only I could speak aloud Just what I feel when you're around I'd finally profess my love in verse But I'm not good with words
