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
