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.
.
It 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 going to be
I'm going to 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 could love me
But I feel you could.

[Pause]
.
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,
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 could love me
But I feel you could.
