I'm an intelligent person
And you're intelligent, too.
We'll make intelligent love
on my intelligent bed
And say intelligent things
but we just stutter and say

Anything but I love you
(I'm so afraid)
Anything but I love you

I love you.

I'm rendered speechless by beauty.
I'm incoherent with wonder.
Can't think of what I would say if I could say
But I long to say it to you.

A teenaged blessing from heaven
An angel I don't deserve.
I'm lost and dazed in a maze
and crazed by all of your ways
And gazing rapt through the haze
It's all I can do just to say

Anything but I love you
(I'm so afraid)
Anything but I love you

I love you.

I'm rendered speechless by beauty.
I'm incoherent with wonder.
Can't think of what I would say if I could say
But I long to say it to you.

Teenaged angel from heaven,
A blessing I don't deserve,
Your words fly out in a spray
of intellectual play
climbing to a display
of prolix patterns that say

Anything but I love you
(I'm so afraid)
Anything but I love you

I love you.

I'm rendered speechless by beauty.
I'm incoherent with wonder.
Can't think of what I would say if I could say
But I long to say it to you.
