Friend, this shouldn't be the way things end But then, a break is just around the bend And when you tell me as I leaveYou're scared you'll never see my face again Well, I'm not sure it's the truth You don't think I can love you You don't think I can love you You don't think I can love you But I can and I will and I doYou write, I read your letters every night All right, I skim them just to be polite I fight embarrassment and shame The mention of your name makes me turn white But guilt still makes me refrain You don’t think I can love you You don’t think I can love you You don’t think I can love you But I can and I will and I doI imagine you think I don't think of you You know you couldn't be more wrong If good intentions paved the road that gets me through I've got a six-lane highway And I intend to someday Do all the things I say I can and I will and I doHey, it's hard for me to go away Okay, I know it's not adult But it's just as difficult for me to stay And anyway you say You don't think I can love you You don't think I can love you You don't think I can love you Love you, love you, love you I can and I will and I doI can and I will and I do
