I Know There's A Word Lyrics - Aimee Mann

I know there's a word for this 

I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling 

I know there's a word for this 

I know it, and it's on the tip of my tongue 

and it won't go any further. 

I know there's a word for this 

I know, 'cause it's in the dictionary 

and when I find what it is 

I'll write it down in case it comes up again 

I'll be certain to avoid it. 

[Chorus] 

So, take this down: I just feel so beat 

and I think it's time to admit defeat 

I thought I got mine 

but that uphill climbing is never through. 

I know there's a word for this 

I know 'cause we've all at sometime said it 

like when we were little kids 

we'd fight each other 'til someone would give in 

and you'd make him tell you 'uncle'. 

[Chorus] 

So, take this down: I just feel so beat 

and I think it's time to admit defeat 

I thought I got mine 

but that uphill climbing 

is never through
