[Verse 1]
When we parted just like friends
We never tied loose ends
I could never say the words that would make amends

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wanted to
Oh, how I wanted to
To say I loved you
To say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

[Verse 2]
From my blue room did you creep
A love too rare to keep
Well, I heard your step and I turned my head to weep

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wanted to
Oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you
Say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, how I wanted to
Oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you
Just say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

[Verse 3]
Now hearts do what hearts will
And my nights are sleepless still
Well, I never was the one to speak my fill

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wanted to
Oh, how I wanted to
Just say I loved you
Ah, just say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

[Verse 4]
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Chorus]
Oh, how I wanted to
Oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you
Just say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to
