lyrics

I'm not a Southern soul singer and I'm not a traveling bard
I wanted to write you a love song but I found it exceedingly hard
It's not that I don't really love you, 'cause honey you know that I do
It's just that there aren't enough words to explain how I feel about you

Now I know why those old songs go la la la la la la la

You remind me of a poem I forgot or a song that will never exist
Or a place where I've never been to, but honey your beauty insists
That I fill up a new dictionary with new words to explain everything
It'd be easier than writing a love song, it'd be easier than trying to sing

Now I know why those old songs go la la la la la la la

I wanted to write a love song but it just can't be done
It's like trying to tell a blind man the color of the sun
You can get the science of it, but that don't help him none
I tried to write a love song but it just can't be done
