Jerry Reed — I Love You What Can I Say

(Spoken) Y'know, some call me a poet He has a way with words they say Huh Well why then when I try to tell you the way I feel And all the words just slip away Or They come out something like dialogue from a Clark Gable movie Well frankly my dear, damn I just have so much inside that I want you to know about And it all means I love you So what can I say (Sung) You bring a tear to the poet's eye And you're the rhyme I could not write And you are love when the words slip away And I love you, what can I say (Spoken) You see, sometimes I'm so tired of the words just running out I mean, what is it worth, that funny, shaky feelin' inside, huh Or that numb, warm, wonderful, confusion when you touch me A poet, no, no I'm not a poet But if I were, and if I had every word in the world at my command What words that mean I love you I love you, so what can I say (Sung) You're the song that I could not sing And you're the picture I could not paint And your love when the words slip away And I love you, what can I say I love you, what can I say, yeah And your love when the words slip away And I love you, what can I say I love you, what can I say
