I Can, I Will, I Do lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

[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
