I don't know what to give you
Nor can I invent pretty lines
But I learned one yesterday, only I've already forgotten it
So, look, I just want you
I know someone, way too shy
Who, being clumsy, was never able to speak
But today he sees the time he lost
You know that someone is me, and now I'll tell you
You don't know what I've been through
I'm always signaling to you, but you haven't paid attention
And here I am watching time go by
Waiting to see if the time comes, the time to talk to you
I don't know what to give you
Nor can I invent pretty lines
But I learned one yesterday, only I've already forgotten it
So, look, I just want you
You can bet that at night sleep's light
I spend the whole day waiting so I can vent
But, as always, when the moment of truth arrives
I lack ease, so I end up shutting up
I lack the knack, I start writing and tear it up
Shaking more each time and sometimes I even choke
Nothing to do, and that's why I'm telling you
That it's late not to say it
I'll say it how I know and that's it
I don't know what to give you
Nor can I invent pretty lines
But I learned one yesterday, only I've already forgotten it
So, look, I just want you
I don't know what to give you
Nor can I invent pretty lines
But I learned one yesterday, only I've already forgotten it
So, look, I just want you
