What I Mean To Say Songtext
von The Bangles

I pick the day, I pick the place
I pick the flowers for the table
Have the phrases memorized so carefully
You walk in smiling then
Suddenly my mind′s unable
To focus on these things so dear to me
What I meant to say
Is that I'm in love
I never felt like this before
I can tell that you
Never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
There are many pleasant things
I can keep my mind distracted
We can laugh and talk the evening hours away
It appears on the tip of my tongue
I′m so hopelessly attracted
But if I try to tell you, the words will stray
What I meant to say
Is that I'm in love


I never felt like this before
I can tell that you
Never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
I found more love than I can tell you of
It's a simple, honest thing
Just to close my eyes and tell you
There′ll be one less person in your arms tonight
What I meant to say
Is that I′m in love
I never felt like this before
He's so good to me
And I know that we
Have to be together my baby
What I meant to say
Is that I′m in love
I never felt like this before
I can tell that you
Never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
