I was listening to our records 
 but I never played our song 
 the underground sang "sunday morning" 
 lou reed was never wrong 

 I wanna write you something 
 sing it from my heart 
 stole the words from a hallmark card 
 I never used, but they're so true 

 sorry I can't write a song about you 
 sorry I can't write a song about you 

 I was watching some old movie 
 it really wasn't that good 
 it wasn't "inside daisy clover" 
 there was no nathalie wood 

 I wanna tell you something 
 say it from my soul 
 the words got stuck in my throut 
 nothing came out, but I mean it loud 

 sorry I can't write a song about you 
 sorry I can't write a song about you
