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
