i just don't know what to say

Singer:john hiatt

you took my love

you took my trust

you 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

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 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

what kind of fool i am

covered in darkness

but i wanna see

what's the matter with you

babe

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

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

oh

baby

i just don't know what to say
