I Just Don't Know What to Say Songtext
von John Hiatt

You took my love
You took my trust
And turned ′em in
To a pile of rust
Stole my money
And you lied to me
You said we were shootin' it straight mutually

Now I think you want
Me to be kind
And bury the past
And ease your mind
But I′m not here to make you pay

Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say


It makes me wonder
How long I′ve been your fool
Though it hardly changes
What I feel for you
And that′s the thing
I don't understand
It goes to show
Just what kind of fool I am

Covered in darkness
But I wanna see
What′s the matter with you, babe
And what's the matter with me
If I could believe
I′d hit my knees and pray

But baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don′t know what to say

I know you're shocked
At my loss for words
'Cause I can talk
The wings off a humming bird
I think too fast
But not fast enough for you
And everything you always wanted
To be brand new


Now my mind is tongue tied
I got two left feet
I can′t dance outta here
I keep hittin′ repeat
Aw, and it's the same sad song
The jukebox plays

Baby, I just don′t know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don′t know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Ooh, baby, I just don′t know what to say
