Split Enz - Message to My Girl

I don't want to say, "I love you"That would give away too muchIt's hip to be detached and preciousThe only thing you feel is viciousI don't want to say, "I want you"Even though I want you so muchIt's wrapped up in conversationIt's whispered in a hushThough I'm frightened by the wordsThink it's time that it was heardNo more empty self-possessionVisions swept under the matIt's no New Year's resolutionIt's more than thatNow, I wake up happyWarm in a lover's embraceNo one else can touch usWhile we're in this placeSo I'll sing it to the worldThis simple message to my girlNo more empty self-possessionVisions swept under the matIt's no New Year's resolutionIt's more than thatThough I'm frightened by the wordsThink it's time I made it heardSo I'll sing it to the worldA simple message to my girlNo more empty self-possessionVisions swept under the matIt's no New Year's resolutionIt's more than thatOh, there's nothing quite as realAs the touch of your sweet handI can't spend the rest of my lifeBuried in the sand
