To Make a Long Story Short
Expressing Love in Few Words: Benny Mardones' Short Story
Lyrics
I could use a thousand words to say
I could express my feelings using many words
What I've got on my mind
Describing what occupies my thoughts
But what's the use of beating 'round the bush
But there's no point in avoiding the main topic
Wastin' words, just wastin' time
Talking unnecessarily, wasting words and time
Boring you with talk
Telling mundane things is not my intention
Ain't what I want
I don't want to bore you with conversation
So I'll try
So, I'll attempt
To get right to the point
To be straightforward
To make a long story short
To summarize a lengthy tale
Baby, I love you
Expressing deep affection for you
To make a long story short
To cut it short
Baby, I love you
Reiterating profound love
I could find a million words to say
I could find numerous words
How your touch makes me feel
To describe the emotions your touch evokes
But they wouldn't tell you half as much
But words are insufficient compared to a kiss
As a kiss would reveal
Which reveals more than words can convey
Boring you with talk
I don't want to bore you with talk
Ain't what I want
Not my intention
So I'll try
So, I'll try
To get right to the point
To be direct
And make a long story short
Summing up a lengthy narrative
Baby, I love you
Expressing love deeply
To make a long story short
To make it concise
Baby, I love you
Affirming affection
And boring you with talk
Not interested in boring you with talk
Ain't what I want
Against my intention
So I'll try
So, I'll try
To get right to the point
To be straightforward
To make a long story short
To summarize a long story
Baby, I love you
Expressing profound love
To make a long story short
To make it brief
Baby, I love you
Reaffirming love
Make a long story short
To shorten a lengthy tale
'Cause baby, I love you
Because, baby, I love you
To make a long story short
To make it succinct
Baby, I love you
Expressing affection
Make a long story short
To abbreviate a long story
'Cause baby, I love you
Because, baby, I love you
To make a long story short
To make it concise
