Song Lyrics

I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown,
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine who had
A little bit of a breakdown,
I said hey no breakdowns come
And breakdowns go.
So what are you going to do about it
That`s what I`d like to know.
You don`t feel you could love me
But I feel you could.

It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call.
Believing I had supernatural powers
I slammed into a brick wall,
I said hey, is this my problem?,
Is this my fault?,
If that`s the way it`s going to be
I`m going to call the whole thing to a halt,

You don`t feel you could love me
But I feel you could,
You don`t feel you could love me
But I feel you could,

(Long Pause)

I was walking down the street
When I thought I heard this voice say,
Say ain`t we walking down the same street together
On the very same day,
I said hey Senorita that`s astute
I said, why don`t we get together
And call ourselves an institute

You don`t feel you could love me
But I feel you could,
You don`t feel you could love me
But I feel you could,
