I told you time and time again
  that we would meet just as friends
  and now i just can't seem to get my story through
  if i'd known all about this then
  i wouldn't have said the things I said
  im left now with a problem
  what to do
    cuz i can't seem to tell her
  exactly the way i feel
  i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
    and if she calls me on the phone
  wont you tell her im not home
  just say ive gone so very far away
  if she asks when ill return
  tell her that you have not learned
  and that i might have plans to stay
    cuz i can't seem to tell her
  exactly the way i feel i
  can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
  i can't seem to tell her
  exactly the way i feel
  i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
    here she comes again
  this time surrounded by her friends
  do i pretend that i dont see her or say hi
  she asks me if im free
  i said i would if it was up to me
  and pray she sees the truth behind my lie
    cuz i can't seem to tell her
  exactly the way i feel
  i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
  i can't seem to tell her
  exactly the way i feel
  i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
