Lyrics
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
Words & Music by Frank Pusateri/Paul Rizzo/Carol Becker
We talk about a weekend in Jamaica
The kiss of gentle waves upon the sand
The things I feel for you I've never felt for anyone
But something's missing, like a game without the fun
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
Spinning round in circles only masks the truth
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
I've waited for a lover just like you
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
We laugh away the hours inside a restaurant
Soft music, wine and candles set the mood
As we look into each others eyes with passion and desire
There's something missing, like a flame without a fire
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
Spinning round in circles only masks the truth
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
I've waited for a lover just like you
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
I Love You.
I'm a lock without a key, a ship adrift at sea
A phantom note amidst the music halls
Because a heart without emotion
Conjures up this silly notion
Do you really love me?
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
Spinning round in circles only masks the truth
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
I've waited for a lover just like you
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT?
I Love You
