Words Get In The Way
Gloria Estefan

I realize you're seeing someone new
I don't believe she knows you like I do
Your temperamental moody side
The one you always try to hide from me
But I know when you have something on your mind
You've been trying to tell me for the longest time
And before you break my heart in two
There's something I've been trying to say to you

But the words get in the way
There's so much I want to say
But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes
We might fall in love again
I won't even start to cry, and before we say goodbye
I tried to say "I love you"
But the words get in the way
