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

I Can, I Will, I Do

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
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you
But I can, and I will, and I do
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
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
I can, and I will, and I do
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
You don’t think I can love you
You don’t think I can love you
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
