Karaoké Message to My Girl Split Enz

I don't want to say "I love you"

That would give away too much

It's hip to be detached and precious

The only thing you feel is vicious

I don't want to say "I want you"

Even though I want you so much

It's wrapped up in conversation

It's whispered in a hush

Though I'm frightened by the words

Think it's time that it was heard

No more empty self-possession

Visions swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

Now I wake up happy

Warm in a lover's embrace

No one else can touch us while we're in this place

So I'll sing it to the world

This simple message to my girl

No more empty self-possession

Visions swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

Oh oh oh

Wooh aah

Oh oh oh oh oh

Though I'm frightened by the words

Think it was time

I made it heard

So I'll sing it to the world

Simple message to my girl

No more empty self-possession

Visions swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

No there's nothing quite as real

As the touch of your sweet hand

I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
