Words Get in the Way
JOHN SHANKS, JEWEL KILCHER
Come here buttercup
Let me fill you up
Can't you see I'm the blue in your skies
You can tell by the stars in my eyes
Dawn always comes too soon
It hurts me like a bruise
There's a hole in my pillow
Where you used to be
It feels like a hole in the middle of me
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh just take my hand
To have and hold if not obey
Oh, oh, oh say you're still my man
I'll try to find the words to say
That I want you always to stay
To wake up with you every single day
But words get in the way
Words get in the way
Tell your boss you're dead
And let's go back to bed
You make me want to break out in song
But every time I try it just comes out wrong
[Chorus]
I leave a message on your answering machine
I try to say what I really mean
[Chorus]
