Why Can't You Say I Love You - DEMO
No band, just me and I'm no performer
Story behind the song
I felt we had a great song but nowhere to go with it, so I asked my favorite knob (twiddler), Mark Kaufman, to work his magic and...voila! He brought in the big guns, daughter Lucy, and this is the result.
Lyrics
WHY CAN’T YOU SAY I LOVE YOU
© Jim Purtell & Ricki E. Bellos
We spend long hours
Of every day
Texting or talking
The summer away
You’re not one to rush things
You like to play cool
But I’m wondering
Why can’t you say I love you
I call when you’re not home
And try to make jokes
Do they make you smile
I never know
I say “love ya” then hang up
Sometimes I’m scared to
Still wondering
Why can’t you say I love you
I know your fear
You’ve been burned
Somebody walked out on you
But it’s been a year
And I’m not her
I’ll never make you feel like a fool
You own my heart
You must know by now
I know how you feel
Just say it out loud
I promise I won’t laugh
Please tell me the truth
Stop my wondering
Why can’t you say I love you
Why won’t you say I love you
Why can’t you say I love you
