[Verse 1]
|
Friend, this shouldn't be the way things end
|
But then, a break is just around the bend.
|
And when you tell me as I leave
|
You're scared you'll never see my face again
|
Well, I'm not sure it's the truth
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
You don't think I can love you
|
You don't think I can love you
|
You don't think I can love you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But I can, and I will, and I do
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
You write, I read your letters every night
|
All right, I skim them just to be polite.
|
I fight embarrassment and shame
|
The mention of your name makes me turn white
|
But guilt still makes me refrain
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
You don't think I can love you
|
You don't think I can love you
|
You don't think I can love you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But I can, and I will, and I do
|
|
[Bridge]
|
I imagine you think I don't think of you
|
You know you couldn't be more wrong
|
If good intentions paved the road that gets me through
|
Then I've got a six-lane highway
|
And I intend to someday
|
Do all the things I say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I can, and I will, and I do
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Hey - it's hard for me to go away
|
Okay, I know it's not adult
|
It's just as difficult for me to stay
|
And anyway you say
|
|
You don't think I can love you, mmm
|
You don't think I can love you, oohh
|
You don't think I can love you, love you, love you, love you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I can, and I will, and I do
|
I can, and I will, and I do
|
A do do do do do do do do
|
Do do do
|
