Mere Words
Bobby McFerrin
Bang!Zoom (1996)

All these songs of love's first flight
they don't sing ours just right
so I stayed up have the night
to write a song of love for you

there are the words that say these things
but I can't think of one that brings
all the joy that I could sing in a song of love for you

this is crazy
I'm so hazy
and not so sure of myself
all the love I feel in my heart for you
a mere song couldn't handle
so I'll abandon this project
who am I foolin'
I know full well
I just thought if you didn't know yet
that I need your love to see me through

yes I'm a failure
I couldn't see my way through to the end
I know we're not through, my friend
there's so much for us left to do
cause there's no one quite like you
there's no one quite like you
