"Pretend That I'm Saying It Right" lyrics

I can be the night you always remember
Carve your name in a willow tree

Make your heart race under the covers
Be your pillow when fall asleep
I can take you out on the town
Find a long way around

Those riverside winding curves
There ain't nothing I can't do
When it comes to you
But put together all the words

I can't say it good
Yea I never could, but I want to
So don't get me wrong
If I ramble too long here tonight
It's just my own way
Of telling you baby I want you
So at the end of the day
Just pretend that I'm saying it right

I can be the first dance you ever wanted
In a southern summer rain

Be the one who knows what you're thinkin'
Even when you don't say a thing
I can take you right back home
Get you all alone

Just show you what I'm talkin' 'bout
Darlin' I don't need to hide
What I feel inside
But it's hard for me to get it out

I can't say it good
Yea I never could, but I want to
So don't get me wrong
If I ramble too long here tonight
It's just my own way
Of telling you baby I want you
So at the end of the day
Just pretend that I'm saying it right

I can't say it good
Yea I never could, but I want to
So don't get me wrong
If I ramble too long here tonight
Oh I've got my own way
Of telling you baby I love you
So at the end of the day
Just pretend that I'm saying it right
At the end of the day
Just pretend that I'm saying it right
Yea pretend that I'm saying it right
