Couldn’t I Just Tell You Lyrics By Todd Rundgren

    keep your head and everything will be cool
    you didn’t have to make me feel like a fool
    when i tried to say i feel the way that i do
    i want to talk with you
    and make it loud and clear
    though you don’t care to hear but

    couldn’t i just tell you the way i feel
    i can’t keep it bottled up inside
    and could we pretend that it’s no big deal
    and there’s really nothing left to hide

    something sure doesn’t seem right to me
    when you can turn your back whenever you please
    and you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
    why can’t i talk with you
    and put it in your ear
    though you don’t care to hear but

    couldn’t i just tell you the way i feel
    i can’t keep it bottled up inside
    and could we pretend that it’s no big deal
    and there’s really nothing left to hide

    hear me out ooh
    why don’t you lend me an ear
    hear me out ooh
    you got no reason to fear
    hear me out ooh
    i’ll make it perfectly clear i love you

    i don’t come whining with my heart on my sleeve
    i’m not a coward if that’s what you believe
    and i’m not afraid but not ashamed if it’s true
    i got to talk with you
    and then i’ll make it clear
    make it clear
    make it clear

    couldn’t i just tell you the way i feel
    i can’t keep it bottled up inside
    and could we pretend that it’s no big deal
    and there’s really nothing left to hide
