Lyrics for Gumboots (with Boyoyo Boys)
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, hey, no 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 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 gonna 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 can 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 And 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 can love me But I feel you could I was having this discussion In a taxi heading downtown
