How'm I gonna write this love-letter to you when all I have are these hands
How'm I gonna write this love-letter to you when I can't even ask you to dance
Just don't tell me I've gotta give up on love
Don't tell me that I've gotta give up on love
Don't tell me that I've gotta give up on love when you know that it's true
I'm depending on you to be the angel in my view
How'm I gonna read this love-poem aloud when all I have are these words
How'm I gonna read this love-poem aloud when I'm destined to stutter it's my curse
Just don't tell me I've gotta give up on love
Don't tell me that I've gotta give up on love
Don't tell me that I've gotta give up on love when you know that it's true
I'm depending on you to be the angel in my view
Did you know that I stay up late thinkin' about the love we could be making
As I drink you in with proverbial arms
And after everything I concede you're my only aching
And I would gladly let you slay me with your charms
C'mon and slay me with your charms
Just don't tell me I've gotta give up on love
Did you know that I stay up late thinkin' about the love we could be making
As I drink you in with proverbial eyes
And after everything I concede you're my only aching
And I would gladly let you paint me with white lies
C'mon and paint me with white lies
Just don't tell me I've gotta give up on love
Don't you tell me I've gotta give up on love
Don't you tell me that I've gotta give up on love
Don't tell me that I've gotta give up on sweet, sweet love when you know that it's true
I'm depending on you to be the angel in my view
