I Could Love You

Keep it quiet
But I'm about to lose my head
I saw my baby on the corner
She left me reelin' when she said

I could love you
But that would leave me in misery
She said that love's hotel was open
And there was now a vacancy

She is a woman
It's fair to say that I'm a man
And love's all soon to be forgotten
When you're forced to show your hand

I can't stand it
The way you're treatin' me so mean
Yes, that's why I'm about to break down and cry
And put an end to this crazy dream

Neither one of us
Wants to be left behind
I can't do a thing to stop
These tears that I cry
So much hurt
And now there's so much pain
Guess I'm gonna remain sane, yeah

Come tomorrow
You're gonna find me all alone
All been sold or in the garbage
Or merely left out in the cold

I could love you
But that would leave me in misery
So my heart is now the victim
Of a murder in the first degree

Neither one of us
Wants to be left behind
I can't do a thing to stop
These tears that I cry
So much hurt
And now there's so much pain
Guess I'm gonna

Oh, oh, I never meant to make you cry
Don't I need to feel 'em die
Oh, oh, this is why and this is why
Oh, oh, oh
