Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Keep your head and everything will be cool

You didn't have to make me feel like a fool

When I tried to say I feel the way that I do

I want to talk with you

And make it loud and clear

Though you don't care to hear

[Verse 2]

But couldn't I just tell you the way I feel?

I can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide?

[Verse 3]

Something sure doesn't seem right to me

When you can turn your back whenever you please

And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu

Why can't I talk with you?

And put it in your ear

Though you don't care to hear

[Verse 4]

But couldn't I just tell you the way I feel?

I can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide?

[Verse 5]

(Hear me out) Why don't you lend me an ear

(Hear me out) You got no reason to fear

(Hear me out) I'll make it perfectly clear

I love you

[Verse 6]

I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve

I'm not a coward, if that's what you believe

And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true

I got to talk with you

And then I'll make it clear

Make it clear

Make it clear

[Verse 7]

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel?

I can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide?
