i meant to say

i meant to say some words but i forgot
to tell you just what all those thoughts were for
to make you know just how much i adore

you and how much you mean but i could not
find the right moment so i seemed a boor
i meant to say some words but i forgot

i fear that i'd be taken for a sot
another one who should be shown the door
for every golden thought i'd need a score
i meant to say some words but i forgot
