"Gumboots" lyrics

"Gumboots"

I was having this discussion in a taxi heading downtown
Rearranging my position on this friend of mine who had a little bit of a breakdown
I said, "Hey, you know, breakdowns come and breakdowns go, so
What are you going to do about it? That's what I'd like to know"

You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could

It was in the early morning hours when I fell into a phone call
Believing I had supernatural powers, I slammed into a brick wall
I said, "Hey, is this my problem? Is this my fault?
If that's the way it's gonna be I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt" and

You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could
(You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you)
You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could, ooh
(You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you)

I was walking down the street when I thought I heard this voice say
"Say, ain't we walking down the same street together on the very same day?"
I said, "Hey, senorita, that's astute," I said
"Why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute?"

You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could
(You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you)
You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could, ooh
(You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you)

I was having this discussion in a taxi heading downtown
