Jim Croce
I’ll Have to Say I Love You, in a Song
[Verse 1]
Well, I know it's kinda late
I hope I didn't wake ya
But what I gotta say can't wait
I know you'd understand

[Chorus]
Every time I tried to tell ya
The words just came out wrong
So, I'll have to say "I love you" in a song

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know it's kinda strange
Every time I'm near ya
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand

[Chorus]
Every time I tried to tell ya
The words just came out wrong
So, I'll have to say "I love you" (I love you) in a song

[Bridge]
Oh, I love you, love you, love you
I really do
[Chorus]
Every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So, I'll have to say "I love ya" in a song

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I know it's kinda late (It's kinda late)
I hope I didn't wake ya
But there's something that I just gotta say
(Know you'd understand) Know you'd understand

[Chorus]
Every time I tried to tell ya
The words just came out wrong
So, I'll have to say "I love ya" in a song

[Outro]
I love, I love, I love, I love you
I love, I love, I love, I love you
