Gumboots by Paul Simon

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
