A classic rock song that asks why it’s so hard to say those three little words

Lyrics

Well, I want ya and I need ya, but there's something wrong
Yeah, I want ya and I need ya, but there's something wrong
And every time you're on my mind I have to ask myself over and over

Babe, you're just leaving me speechless, 'cause I need ya
But the words just won't come out of my mouth
I gotta love's feelings inside, yeah, but I'm tongue tied
And I just can't get the words to come out

Well, I want ya and I need ya, but there's something wrong
Yeah, I want ya and I need ya, but there's something wrong
And every time you're on my mind I have to ask myself over and over
'Cause I want ya and I need ya, but there's something wrong

Babe, you're just leaving me speechless, 'cause I need ya
But the words just won't come out of my mouth
I gotta love's feeling inside, yeah, but I'm tongue tied
And I just can't get the words to come out

Why can't I say that I love you?
Why can't I say, I love you?

Why can't, why can't, why can't, why can't, why can't, why can't, why can't, why can't I say it?

Babe, you're just leaving me speechless, 'cause I need ya
But the words just won't come out of my mouth
I gotta love's feeling inside, yeah but I'm tongue tied
And I just can't get the words to come out

Babe, you're just leaving me speechless, 'cause I need ya
But the words just won't come out of my mouth
I gotta love's feeling inside, yeah but I'm tongue tied
And I just can't get the words to come out

Why can't I say that I love you? (Why, oh, oh, oh why?)
Why can't I say, I love you?
Why can't I say that I love you? (Why, oh, oh, oh why?)
Why can't I say, I love you?

Why can't I say that I love you?
Why can't I say, I love you?
