Lyrics:

Y'know, some call me a poet
He has a way with words they say
Huh,
Well why then when I try to tell you the way I feel
And all the words just slip away
Or
They come out something like dialogue from a Clark Gable movie
'Well frankly my dear', damn
I just have so much inside that I want you to know about
And it all means that I love you
So what can I say

(Sung)
You bring a tear to the poet's eye
And you are the rhyme I could not write
And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say

(Spoken)
You see, sometimes
Well, sometimes words just aren't enough
I mean, what is the word for that funny, shaky feelin' inside, huh
Or that numb, warm, wonderful, confusion when you touch me
A poet, no, no I'm not a poet
But if I were, and if I had every word in the world at my command
My poem would still be I love you
I love you, so what can I say

(Sung)
You're the song that I could not sing
And you're the picture I could not paint
And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say

I love you, what can I say, yeah

And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say

I love you, what can I say
