I Said I Love You lyrics by Raul Malo (The Mavericks)

I Said I Love You - Raul Malo (The Mavericks)

Intro

1. Strophe
We've been meeting this way for a while,
always keeping our hearts in denial,
but the rules of the game are as such
there are some things you never should rush.
With the way that you're looking tonight
it was only a matter of time
before I got so over-whelmed
that I just could not help myself.

1. Refrain
I said I love you, I didn't mean to,
but the moonlight just gave me away.
Now that I said it try to forget it,
and pretend it was all a mistake.
I'll keep trying, go on denying,
this feeling that I know is true,
stumbling and falling and still after all
I keep falling in love with you.

Instrumental

2. Strophe
What's the point of this masquerade
after all of our cards have been played.
And now there's nothing for me left to hide,
I hope I have fate on my side.
Either way I've got nothing to lose,
surrender is all I can do.
And if you should be mine in the end,
I'll remember it all happened when.

2. Refrain
I said I love you, I didn't mean to,
but the moonlight just gave me away.
Now that I said it try to forget it,
and pretend it was all a mistake.
I'll keep trying, go on denying,
this feeling that I know is true,
stumbling and falling and still after all
I keep falling in love with you.

Instrumental

3. Refrain
I said I love you, I didn't mean to,
but the moonlight just gave me away.
Now that I said it try to forget it,
and pretend it was all a mistake.
I'll keep trying, go on denying,
this feeling that I know is true,
stumbling and falling and still after all
I keep falling in love with you.

Coda
Stumbling and falling and still after all
I keep falling in love with you...
