Every time you stop and catch your breath,
I miss a step myself.
And if you were to shake your head and laugh,
I’d be in on the joke.
I think she knows just what I ought to say.
What would turn her head, make her come on out to play.
An unkind word from her
Descends done on my like a stone-cold avalanche.
Just as easily a smile lifts me from dark to light
And I relax.
I think she knows just what I ought to say.
What would turn her head, make her come on out to play.
I think she knows just what I ought to do.
Every word a clue that reveals the truth some way.
She thinks so much I think I feel her thoughts
Lining up inside my head.
It’s all right I feel quite fine no matter what
She’s on my side.
I think she knows just what I ought to say...
Ten long years I wound up, so alone...
Seldom did I find the peace, the sweet relief,
I finally found with you.
I been bound to her tighter than,
A Siamese twin you know.
I’m the ink that forms the words “I love you”
That she writes so slow...
I think she knows, just what I ought to say...
