Baby I'm Lost for Words
Samantha Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to keep it but I can't let it go
I've tried to tell you so many times
But I could never tell you, baby, what I feel inside
Baby I'm lost for words when I see you everyday
I try to make myself heard but you take my breath away
I get tongue-tied, shy, hands are shaking
Oh oh baby I'm lost for words
Brown eyes & blue skies playing on my mind
How long must I go on keeping my feelings inside
Love is a lonely game unless there are two
How long must I go on living, living without you
Baby I'm lost for words
There is nothing I can say
I try to make myself heard but you take my breath away
Shut down when communication breaks down in conversation
Oh oh baby I'm lost for words
Love is a lonely game unless there are two
How long must I go on living, living without you
Baby I'm lost for words
When I see you everyday
I try to make myself heard but you take my breath away
Shut down when communication breaks down in conversation
Oh oh baby I'm lost for words
Baby I'm lost for words
When I see you everyday
I try to make myself heard but you take my breath away
I get tongue-tied, shy, hands are shaking
Speechless, heart slowly breaking
Oh oh baby I'm lost for words
Baby I'm lost for words when I see you everyday
I try to make myself heard but you take my breath away
