Do I have to say it? Don't you already know it? Do I have to spell it out? Don't you think I show it Can't you see it's you I want tonight (You have to read it) You have to read it inbetween the lines CHORUS Do you compute? What does it take to make you understand? Do you compute? I'm trying to tell you I'm in love with you I ain't no good with words No I'm no good at at talking I'm misunderstood Misunderstood too often Now baby if you'll open up your eyes (Then you will feel) Then you will feel the way I feel inside REPEAT CHORUS Now baby if you'll open up your eyes (Then you will feel) Then you will feel the way I feel inside REPEAT CHORUS
