I Said All That to Say All This

George Jones · It Don't Get Any Better Than This [1998]

Last night when I said it was gettin' colder

I thought you'd take the hint

Well, I wanted my arm around your shoulder

That's what I really meant.



When I asked if I could drive you home

I didn't want to be alone

We've been friends a long, long time

Oh, why can't you see what's on my mind.



I said all that to say all this

I want your touch and I need your kiss

Honey, if I even had half the nerve

I'd give in' and give you desert.



Every other thing that you do to me

You make my head spin and my knees go weak

I follow your love and I can't resist

I said all that to say all this.

Baby, I'm standing on the edge

All I need is a little push

But it's hard to speak my heart

So I keep beatin' around the bush.



When I said I need someone like you

Couldn't you see where it was leading too

Your the only one who can do it

Where I thought you'd see right through it.



I said all that to say all this

I want your touch and I need your kiss

Honey, if I even had half the nerve

I could even follow this urge



Every other thing that you do to me

You make my head spin and my knees go weak

I follow your love and I can't resist

I said all that to say all this.



I follow your love and I can't resist

I said all that to say all this...
