Didn't Say I Love You Right

When you told me you love me for the very first time

Man, what a shock! You know you blew my mind

But I love you so much, so I spoke from the heart

And said I'd find the time to fix the rust on your car

It's a whole lot more than love, so I don't know what you were dreaming of

When you slammed the door and drove off that night

I guess I didn't say that I love you right

I saw all of those dishes left after lunch

Man, what a mess, so I stuck with a hunch

'Cause I love you so much, and the dishwasher's there

So I loaded it up with my usual flair

It's a whole lot more than love, so I don't know what you were dreaming of

When you saw my work and your face turned white

I guess I didn't say that I love you right, no

So I worked on your car and got rid of the rust

With my buffer and sander and the tools I trust

And I love you so much, I decided to pause

To wash my overalls with your blouses and bras

It's a whole lot more than love, so I don't know what you were dreaming of

I used plenty of bleach, don't be so uptight

I guess I didn't say that I love you right

I guess I didn't say that I love you right

I guess I didn't say that I love you right, no

I tried to say it, I tried to say it, say it to you

I tried to say it, baby, I tried to say it, honey

I tried to say it in my own way, in my own way, in my own way

This way, my way, to you

I tried to say it, baby, I tried to say it, honey

I tried to say it in my own way, in my own way, in my own way

To you, my way, my baby

I tried to tell you, honey

I tried to say it, baby

I tried to say it, say it to you
