What I Meant To Say Lyrics - The Bangles

I pick the day, I pick the place 

I pick the flowers for the table 

Have the phrases memorized so carefully 

You walk in smiling and 

Suddenly my minds unable 

To focus on these things so dear to me 

What I meant to say is that Im in love 

I never felt like this before 

I could tell that you never had a clue 

Searching for the things that I meant to say 

There are many pleasant things 

I can keep my mind distracted 

We can laugh and talk till evening, hours away 

Here it is on the tip of my tongue 

Im so hopelessly attracted 

But if I try to tell you the words will stray 

What I meant to say is that Im in love 

I never felt like this before 

I could tell that you never had a clue 

Searching for the things that I meant to say 

I found more love than I can tell you of 

Its a simple honest thing 

Just to close my eyes and tell you 

Therell be one less person in your arms tonight 

What I meant to say is that Im in love 

I never felt like this before 

Hes so good to me and I know that we 

Had to be together, my baby 

What I meant to say is that Im in love 

I never felt like this before 

I can tell that you never had a clue 

Searching for the things that I meant to say
