Paul Simon, Boyoyo Boys - Gumboots lyrics

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, "Hey, you know, 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

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

I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown
