(words by paul simon; music by paul simon, jonhjon mkhalali and lulu masilela)
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 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 going to be
i'm going to call the whole thing to a halt
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 could
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 could |
