lyrics

I JUST HAD TO SAY

VERSE
I’VE BEEN CATCHING FLACK LIKE IT’S NO MAN’S LAND
YOU KEEP COMING BACK WITH A HELPING HAND
LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME HOW YOU PLAYED THAT GAME
I’M JUST TRYING TO BREATHE, TELL ME WHAT’S YOUR NAME
CAUSE I’VE GOT THE RHYME IF YOU’VE GOT THE MOVES
WE COULD BE SO SUBLIME LIKE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
LIKE A KING WITH A QUEEN, TRYING TO LIVE THE DREAM
THEY GOT THE MILK AND THE HONEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

CHORUS
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, IN EVERY WAY
UNFORGETTABLE, I JUST HAD TO SAY

VERSE
IF YOU GIVE ME A SMILE, I CAN TELL YOU A JOKE
IF YOU STAY FOR A WHILE, WE COULD GO FOR BROKE
HIT THAT ROAD WITH A TRAVELING SHOW
WE GOT THE DELTA LADY DOWN IN MUSCLE SHOALS
BIG BALLS OF FIRE, PIE IN THE SKY
COULDN’T GET MUCH HIGHER IF I LEARNED HOW TO FLY
I COULD SING YOU A SONG ALL THE WAY FROM HONG KONG
I COULD GIVE YOU THE KEY BUT IT WOULDN’T BE WRONG

CHORUS
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, IN EVERY WAY
UNFORGETTABLE, I JUST HAD TO SAY

VERSE
WELL IF YOU TELL ME A STORY, I CAN GIVE YOU MY WORD
WE COULD GO FOR GLORY, IT WOULD BE SO ABSURD
IT’S NO WALK IN THE PARK, SURE LOOKS GOOD IN THE DARK
YOU GOTTA JUMP RIGHT IN AND WHEN THE MOMENT SPARKS
BIG BALLS OF FIRE, PIE IN THE SKY
COULDN’T GET MUCH HIGHER IF WE LEARNED HOW TO FLY
NOW WE’RE WALKING ON AIR, TAKING IT IN
BEFORE IT ALL SLIPS AWAY, YOU KNOW I JUST HAD TO SAY

CHORUS - 2X
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, IN EVERY WAY
UNFORGETTABLE, I JUST HAD TO SAY

OOO-OOO, OOO-OOO, OOO-OOO
