This is the seventh song on Boston’s self-titled debut album. It describes the experience of starting to develop feelings towards a woman, not something easy for a rock star to admit.
[Verse 1]
When I was younger I thought I could stand on my own
It wasn't easy, I stood like a man made of stone
[Pre-Chorus]
But there was something about you
I really want you to know
It brought a change over me
It's startin' to show
I've got this feelin' inside
Gotta have ya, have ya, ain't no good to hide
[Chorus]
It isn't easy
To show what I'm feeling inside, girl
It isn't easy
I know, when you believe in a man like me
[Verse 2]
When I get angry I say things I don't want to say
I really mean it, I don't want to leave you this way
I couldn't help my reaction
[Pre-Chorus]
I really want you to know
I lose control over you
I just want you to know
Got this feeling inside
Gotta have ya, have ya, ain't no good to hide
[Chorus]
It isn't easy
To show what I'm feeling inside, girl
It isn't easy
I know, when you believe in a man like me
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Pre-Chorus]
But there was something about you
It brought a change over me
I've got this feelin' inside
Gotta have ya, have ya, ain't no good to hide
[Chorus]
It isn't easy
To show what I'm feeling inside, girl
It isn't easy
I know, to believe in a man like me
[Bridge]
Like me, can't you see
I got to, got to have you
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Outro]
But there was something about you
Yeah there was something about you
