[Vocal intro]
[Verse 1]
All these songs of love's first fight
They don't sing ours just right
So I stayed up half the night
To write a song of love for you
[Verse 2]
Where are the words that say these things
I can't think of one that brings
All the joy that I could sing
In a song of love for you
[Chorus]
This is crazy
I'm so hazy
And not so sure of myself
All the love I feel in my heart for you
A mere song couldn't handle
[Verse 3]
So I'll abandon this project
Who am I foolin'
I'm no poet
Just thought if you didn't know yet
That I need your love to see me through
[Vocal solo]
[Chorus]
This is crazy
I'm so hazy
And not so sure of myself
All the love I feel in my heart for you
A mere song couldn't handle
[Verse 3]
So I'll abandon this project
Who am I foolin'
I'm no poet
Just thought if you didn't know yet
That I need your love to see me through
(Yes, I do)
[Outro]
Guess I'm a failure
I couldn't see my way through to the end
I know we're not through, my friend
There's so much for us left to do
'Cause there's no one quite like you
'Cause there's no one quite like you
