Lyrics for I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song

Well, I know it's kind of late I hope I didn't wake you But what I gotta say can't wait I know you'd understand 'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song Yeah, I know it's kind of strange But ev'ry time I'm near you I just run out of things to say I know you'd understand 'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song 'Cause ev'ry time the time was right All the words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song Yeah, I know it's kind of late I hope I didn't wake you But there's something that I just gotta say I know you'd understand 'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song
