    Question need help identifying a song from a commercial

    the lyrics of the song are "I'm thinking of you but i can't find the right words to say" sung by a female artist.

    In the commercial the guy gets out of bed and closes the window.

    Anyone know the song?

    It could a cover of "You Blow my Mind" by Matt Johnson (partial lyrics follow)

    Sometimes I can't find the right words to say
    But I'm always thinking of you night and day
    I just want to be with you
    And I want to make our dreams come true
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    the version in this commercial is sung by Liz Durrett.
    you can find her music (including a download of "How Can I Tell You?) on her MySpace page: www.myspace.com/lizdurrett

    it is a cover by cat power, you can hear it here http://hype.non-standard.net/track/205404 the liz durrett cover sounds absolutely nothing like the girl in the commercial.

    Like so much of her other "for hire" work, this one is not commercially available.

    Default here's the lyrics

    atmaster was correct.
    those are all the lyrics

    Sometimes I can't find the right words to say
    But I'm always thinking of you night and day
    I just want to be with you
    And I want to make our dreams come true

    Stay with me forever
    Stay with me tonight
    This could last a lifetime
    You blow my mind, you blow my mind

    Sometimes when I'm down and feeling blue
    I close my eyes, I see your smile, it gets me through
    I just want to be with you
    And I want to make our dreams come true

    To janedigsmusic; Be confused no longer. Even Cat Power says it's her. The good news is that her press folks say it will be included on her next cover album.

    She said on her Myspace it wasn't her.

    "hey....so here's the deal with "how can i tell you"...an ad agency contacted me to make some demos of a couple of cover songs for consideration for a commercial. they ended up not using my version for their project, so i decided to post it here for free download on myspace. hopefully it hasn't caused too much confusion...thanks for listening

    xo,
    liz"

    I been lookin for this song too.

    Here's the deal. DeBeers says it's Cat Power. Her label, Matador Records, says it is in fact her. They have way, way too much to risk to lay claim to her work and it not be true. That link goes to Liz Durrett who has also been credited with the song. That's her myspace account, That's her truthful denial, not Cat Power. Cat Power is indeed the performing artist singing the "How Can I Tell You" cover.
