Jim Croce — Ill Have to Say I Love You in a Song

[Verse 1] Well, I know it's kinda late I hope I didn't wake you But what I got to say can't wait I know you'd understand [Chorus 1] 'Cause every time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song [Verse 2] Yeah, I know it's kind of strange But every time I'm near you I just run out of things to say I know you'd understand [Chorus 1] 'Cause every time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song [Chorus 2] 'Cause every time the time was right All the words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song [Verse 3] Yeah, I know it's kinda late (it's kinda late) I hope I didn't wake you But there's something that I just got to say (I know you'd understand) I know you'd understand [Chorus 1] 'Cause every time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song
