Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – I Can, I Will, I Do

Text:

Verse 1
Friend, this shouldn’t be the way things end
But then, a break is just around the bend.
And when you tell me as I leave

You’re scared you’ll never see my face again
Well, I’m not sure it’s the truth

Pre-Chorus
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you

Chorus
But I can, and I will, and I do

Verse 2
You write, I read your letters every night
All right, I skim them just to be polite.
I fight embarrassment and shame
The mention of your name makes me turn white
But guilt still makes me refrain

Pre-Chorus
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you

Chorus
But I can, and I will, and I do

Bridge
I imagine you think I don’t think of you
You know you couldn’t be more wrong
If good intentions paved the road that gets me through
Then I’ve got a six-lane highway
And I intend to someday

Do all the things I say

Chorus
I can, and I will, and I do

Verse 3
Hey — it’s hard for me to go away
Okay, I know it’s not adult
It’s just as difficult for me to stay
And anyway you say

You don’t think I can love you, mmm
You don’t think I can love you, oohh
You don’t think I can love you, love you, love you, love you

Chorus
I can, and I will, and I do
I can, and I will, and I do
A do do do do do do do do
Do do do
