I Do But I Don’t - Tim McGraw

Belinda recorded this song on a cassette and gave it to me when she still lived in the dorms, right before we started dating. To this day I still don’t know exactly what it was she was trying to say.

You always come back when I’m at my weakest
When I’m fool enough to let you in
Sayin’ how this time around is different
Asking if I want to try again

CHORUS:

I do
But I don’t
I want to
But I won’t
I am
But I ain’t
I could
But I just can’t
It feels right
But it’s wrong
And I’ve hurt way too long
So when you ask me if I know what I want
I do
But I don’t

What resistance I have left within me
I lose each time you’re holding me this close
With every bitter sweet kiss, girl, you tempt me
Asking if I want to let you go

(Repeat chorus)

So don’t ask me if I know what I want
‘Cause I do
But I don’t
