can t you hear the song

Maureen Mcgovern

Everybody knows, everybody knows
The many times you ve been in love before me
Everybody smiles, everybody smiles
There s got to be another kind of story
Everybody knows how I feel about you
Everybody knows, everyone but you

Can t you hear the song that I m singin ?
Can t you hear the words that I m bringin ?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine

Can t you hear a heart when it s breakin ?
Can t you see the sense when I m makin ?
Take a look around
And tell me what you found
When you hear the sound

Can t you hear the song that I m singin ?
Won t you take the hand that I m givin ?
I m just talkin of
A simple song of love,
One that won t go wrong
Can t you hear the song?

Everybody knows, everybody knows
I m runnin round a circle tryin to find you
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn
The one you really need is right behind you?
Everybody knows I ve been gettin nowhere
That s the way it goes when all I want is you

Can t you hear the song that I m singin ?
Can t you hear the words that I m bringin ?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine

Can t you hear the song that I m singin ?
Won t you take the hand that I m givin ?
I m just talkin of
A simple song of love,
One that won t go wrong
Can t you hear the song?

Everybody knows I ve been gettin nowhere
That s the way it goes when all I want is you
