JUST LET ME KNOW

© 1996 Dan Hocott (BMI)

What is the problem? You can tell me…

It’s been three days since I heard you speak.

Don’t say “Nothing”…I know it’s not true.

I know it’s something but I haven’t a clue.

Was it something I said to you?

Or something I did or forgot to do?

CHORUS

If she would just let me know,

If it’s something I did that I don’t know.

If she would just tell me so,

I know I could fix it if I knew what was broke.

Can somebody tell me? I don’t understand

Why a woman can’t be more like a man.

Just say what you mean and mean what you say.

It’s so easy to figure it out that way.

But sometimes I feel like I’m playing charades.

Excuse-moi if I look dismayed.

CHORUS

Now it’s half science and it’s half art,

Trying to know a woman’s heart.

What she says is not what she feels,

And I’m supposed to know what her words conceal.

What is she thinking? I make my best guess,

But I can’t help feeling it’s some kind of test!

CHORUS

And so the answer is clear to see –

A heartless head spells catastrophe.

It’s not who wins, or who submits,

For love is never a battle of wits.

Before you question her reason or rhyme,

Love is the answer every time.
