Brian McKnight – I Couldn't Say lyrics
Baby I saw you standing all alone
In the moonlight, wishing as I may
And I might have just one night with you, pretty mama
Showdown, not ready but willing
To slow down, cause I want to please you
I'll be around, after the lovin' is through

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

Chorus:
I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
We'd be makin' a big mistake

Don't get me wrong, cause I want you
More than you know, but let me get to know you
Make my heart show what my feelings show
Then I'll closer to you
But I'm just so helpless against your touch
I'm defenseless, you're making me weak
But I've got to be strong
If right by you, I'm gonna do

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

Chorus

But if we move too fast
Will we wake up being strangers
We've got time, let it pass
Cause how will we know
How far it will go, will it end

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
(I wanna do right by you baby)
It's too big a move to make
We'd be makin' a big mistake

Chorus

I couldn't say I love you tomorrow
It's too big a move to make
Cause I'd be afraid you'd love me tomorrow
It's too big a chance to take
We'd be makin' a big mistake
