Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I know it's kinda late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I've gotta say can't wait
I know you'd understand
[Chorus]
'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 kinda strange
But every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
[Chorus]
'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]
'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 (I love you)
[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 (Know you'd understand)
I know you'd understand
[Chorus]
'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
