Lyrics
I've never been good at saying what I mean Every time I try, it comes out incomplete Believe me, baby I will show you how I feel for you right now All I wanna do is prove it to you All I wanna do is prove it to you All I wanna do is prove it to you I've never been any good at falling in love I fall so hard, I never get up Don't hurt me, girl, I can't take it no more Make me ask what I'm doing it for 'Cause I love the way you make me feel I hope I do it for you, baby All I wanna do is prove it to you All I wanna do is prove it to you All I wanna do is prove it to you
