Oh, yes, I remember your black dress And how you turned my mind completely Into such a mess so easily And it really came as no surprise You looked beyond compare And every time that I came close To make a move I froze I always do that and I know it If I could only be some kind of poet If I could have my way with words If only for a day I would tell you what I feel so you'd know it Because I would know just what to say If only I was some kind of poet And the next time you walk through that door I really need to try to talk to you But every time I do I end up like a fool Yeah when I try to tell you how I feel Strange things happen to me And I lose my way I don't know what to say It's always like this and I know it If I could only be some kind of poet If I could have my way with words If only for a day I would tell you what I feel so you'd know it Because I would know just what to say If only I was some kind of poet If only I was a poet If I was some kind of poet If only I was a poet Just some kind of poet
