Billy Joel

I Can Tell (The Hassles)

Written by William M. Joel

Every night I lie awake
Thinking how it used to be
And now you've got another man clearly
Darlin’, and I can see

I can tell you don't want me
(You don't want me)
And I can tell you don't need me
(You don't need me)
I can tell you don't love me
Yes I can

The way you’re breathing when we meet
You never hold my hand
You're never home when I call you, darlin'
Finally I understand

I can tell you don't want me
(You don't want me)
Well, I can tell you don't need me
(You don't need me)
Well, I can tell you don't love me
Yes I can

I can tell there ain't no truth
In every, every single in one of your own lies
And I can tell the flame is out
There's nothin’ burnin’ in your eyes, yea

I can tell you don't want me
(You don't want me)
And I can tell you don't need me
(You don't need me)
I will tell you don't love me
Yes I can

Yah! Heh!

I can tell there ain't no truth
In every, every, every single in one of your own lies
And I can tell the flame is out
There's nothin’ burnin’ in your eyes, yea

I can tell you don't want me
(You don't want me)
I can tell you don't need me
(You don't need me)
I can tell you don't love me
Yes I can

Darling, darling, yes I can
La la, yes I can
Yeah yeah, yes I can
Got to, got to hang in, yes I can
