A promise fogged by mystery
The girl that lingers in my dreams
The love in songs that minstrels sing
You're all these things but more to me
Remember what you said to me?
"I love you but don't want nothing"
Your presence I don't ever see
Still I love you more than anything
I wish I was there to hold you tight
Wish I'd see you sleeping every night
Wish there was something I could give
To make you see the reason that I live
What do you propose? What do you suggest?
To put me to the test? "I love you, I guess"
I'm missing teeth, I'm missing heart and bone
A smile from you would fill up my soul
Will you call? Guess I'll just wait and see
You say "I love you" out of courtesy
What do you propose? What do you suggest?
To put me to the test? "I love you, I guess"
What do you propose? What do you suggest?
To put me to the test? "I love you, I guess"
What do you suppose? What do you protest?
Come on and take a rest. By myself again
I love you, I guess
