lyrics

They told me “writin’ a love song . . . Is like tellin’ a secret
You’ve gotta run little rings around the truth
Don’t just come straight out and say it
If you do, they’ll never play it
For sure not in Nashville, and probably not even Duluth”

So this is probably the wrong time
And these are probably the wrong lines
But I love you
I love you
I love you, and I thought you ought to know

You see, I opened my mind . . . The other day
And this song just kind of fell out
Guess you can tell that i’ve never been cool
Here I go again, breakin’ all the rules
And between you and me, not even I’m sure what it’s about
I’m sure this is the wrong time
And I know these are the wrong lines
But I love you
I love you
I love you, and I thought you ought to know

So what do you think . . . Of my new little song?
You know I wrote it just for you.
Are you gonna go unfriend me now?
Or move off to some other town?
It may not be much good, but at least you know it’s the truth
So this is probably the wrong time
And these are probably the wrong lines
But I love you
I love you
I love you, and I thought you ought to know
