I was listening to our records
But I never played our song
The Underground sang "Sunday Morning"
Lou Reed was never wrong

I wanna write you something
Sing it from my heart
Stole the words from a Hallmark card
I never used, but they're so true

chorus
Sorry I Can't Write A Song About You
Sorry I Can't Write A Song About You

I was watching some old movie
It really wasn't that good
It wasn't "Inside Daisy Clover"
There was no Natalie Wood

I wanna tell you something
Say it from my soul
The words got stuck in my throat
Nothing came out, but I meant it loud
