[Verse 1]
I never was the one for long words to get my meaning through
Don't need any long words to say "Sad" or "Down" or "Blue"
Well maybe I should have listened to my teachers back in school
Then I could think of a long word that describes how I feel for you

[Chorus]
And I can't think of any long words to say "Sorry," "Why" or "Please"
I can't think of any long words to say, "Baby, please don't leave"

[Verse 2]
I'm just a man of few words, nothing fancy, just the truth
It doesn't take any long words to say, "Baby, I love you"
And if I knew the long words, would the way I feel come through?
It doesn't take any long words to say, "I know I'm losing you"

[Chorus]
And I can't think of any long words to say "Sorry," "Why" or "Please"
I can't think of any long words to say, "Baby, please don't leave"

[Outro]
And I can't think of any long words to say "Sorry," "Why" or "Please"
I can't think of any long words to say, "Baby, please don't leave"
