Message To My Girl Lyrics - Singles - Split Enz

I don't wanna say I love you 

That would give away too much 

Hip to be detached and precious 

The only thing you feel is vicious 

I don't wanna say I want you 

Even though I want you so much 

It's wrapped up in conversation 

It's whispered in a hush 

Though I'm frightened by the word 

I think it's time that it was heard 

No more empty self-possession 

Visions swept under the mat 

It's no New Years resolution 

It's more than that 

Now I wake up happy 

Warm in a lovers embrace 

No one else can touch us 

While we're in this place 

So I'll sing it to the world 

This simple message to my girl 

No more empty self-possession 

Visions swept under the mat 

It's no New Years resolution 

It's more than that 

Though I'm frightened by the word 

I think it's time I made it heard 

So I'll sing it to the world 

Simple message to my girl 

No more empty self-possession 

Visions swept under the mat 

It's no New Years resolution 

It's more than that 

No there's nothing quite as real 

As the touch of your sweet hand 

I can't spend the rest of my life 

Buried in the sand
