I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine who had
A little bit of a breakdown
I said breakdowns come
And breakdowns go
So what are you going to do about it
That?s what I?d like to know
You don?t feel you could love me
But I feel you could
It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call
Believing I had supernatural powers
I slammed into a brick wall
I said hey, is this my problem?
Is this my fault?
If that?s the way it?s gonna be
I?m going to call the whole thing to a halt
You don?t feel you could love me
But I feel you could
You don?t feel you could love me
But I feel you could
I was walking down the street
When I thought I heard this voice say
Say, ain?t we walking down the same street together
On the very same day
I said hey Senorita that?s astute
I said why don?t we get together
And call ourselves an institute
You don?t feel you could love me
But I feel you could
You don?t feel you could love me
But I feel you could
