(words by paul simon; music by paul simon, jonhjon mkhalali

I was having this discussion

In a taxi heading downtown

Rearranging my position

On this friend of mine who had

A little bit of a breakdown

I said breakdowns come

And breakdowns go

So what are you going to do about it

That's what i'd like to know



You don't feel you could love me

But i feel you could



It was in the early morning hours

When i fell into a phone call

Believing i had supernatural powers

I slammed into a brick wall

I said hey, is this my problem?

Is this my fault?

If that's the way it's going to be

I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt



You don't feel you could love me

But i feel you could

You don't feel you could love me

But i feel you could



I was walking down the street

When i thought i heard this voice say

Say, ain't we walking down the same street together

On the very same day

I said hey senorita that's astute

I said why don't we get together

And call ourselves an institute



You don't feel you could love me

But i feel you could

You don't feel you could love me

But i feel you could
