Lyrics

I al most said, “I (Am7)love you.”

Could I real ly be that (G)kind of guy?

I see one can dle burn ing in your eye

and watch my heart fill up

with but ter flies.

I al most said, “I (Am7)need you.”

Girl, I should n’t go there (Bm7)an y more.

Act like I nev er been in love be fore.

You prob ’ly think it’s my first (G)time.

Is this what love is all a bout?

Am I get tin’ in too (G)deep?

I would n’t want to freak you (Am7)out

and make a prom ise I can’t (D)keep.

So, close your eyes and hum a long,

and I’ll sing you one more love song.

If ev ’ry thing is still al (Am7)right,

why don’t you just crash here to (G)night?

Close your eyes and hum a long,

and I’ll sing you one

more love song.

If ev ’ry thing is still al (Bm7)right,

why don’t you just crash here to (A)night?

Girl, if ev ’ry thing is still al (Bm7)right,

why don’t you just crash here to (A)night?
