I was having this discussion

In a taxy heading downtown

rearranging my position

on this friend of mine who had

a little bit of a breakdown

i said breakdowns come

and breakdowns go

so what are you going to do about it

that's what i'd like to know



you don't feel you could love me

but i feel you could



it was in the early morning hours

when i fell into a phone call

believing i had supernatural powers

i slammed into a brick wall

i said hey, is this my problem?

is this my fault?

if that's the way it's going to be

i'm going to call the whole thing to a halt



You don't feel you could love me

but i feel you could

you don't feel you could love me

but i feel you could



i was walking down the street

when i thought i heard this voice say

say, ain't we walking down the same street together

on the very same day

i said hey senorita, that's astute

i said why don't we get together

and call ourselves an institute



You don't feel you could love me

but i feel you could

you don't feel you could love me

but i feel you could
