Oh, yes, I remember your black dress
And how you turned my mind completely
Into such a mess
So easily
And it really came as no surprise
You looked beyond compare
And every time that I came close
To make a move I froze
I always do that and I know it
If I could only be some kind of poet
If I could have my way with words
If only for a day
I would tell you what I feel so you’d know it
Because I would know just what to say
If only I was some kind of poet
And the next time you walk through that door
I really need to try to talk to you
But every time I do
I end up like a fool
Yeah when I try to tell you how I feel
Strange things happen to me
And I lose my way
I don’t know what to say
It’s always like this and I know it
If I could only be some kind of poet
If I could have my way with words
If only for a day
I would tell you what I feel so you’d know it
Because I would know just what to say
If only I was some kind of poet
If only I was a poet
If I was some kind of poet
If only I was a poet
Just some kind of poet
