I've Got to Tell You
I've Got to Tell You
You can go through life with so much circumspection,
You cannot call it living at all;
I have always had such a fear of rejection
You can say I’ve been “standing small”.
But this is something I won’t repent---
How can you repent the truth?
If up till now I’ve been Clark Kent,
I’ve just emerged from the telephone booth.I’ve got to tell you,
The hell with my pride!
I simply must tell you
What I’m feeling inside.
I tell you I love you
And that you come first---
If I don’t let it out now,
I’m going to burst!
I can’t continue through life
With a timid smile
And a furrowed brow;
I’ve got to tell you,
Tell you I love you—
And that’s what I’m doing right now.I don’t care if you call me a sap
Or if you prefer to stay mute;
If Romeo had never opened his trap,
He would have lived to be a boring old coot.I’ve got to tell you,
The hell with my pride!
I simply must tell you
What I’m feeling inside.
I tell you I love you
And that you come first---
If I don’t let it out now,
I’m going to burst!
I can’t continue through life
With a timid smile
And a furrowed brow;
I’ve got to tell you,
Tell you I love you—
And that’s what I’m doing right now.
