It's impossible to find the original lyrics posted. It's a gorram good song, though. Anyhow,
Seein' you thinking 'bout the engines that you're fixing
make the ship fly with salvaged parts
I forget that there's another Kaylee
a sweet girl with an honest heart
I saw the way Inara put your hair up
saw you smile when you got that dress
saw the way you always looked out for me
I was a fool, this I must confess
I wonder why I didn't know that I loved you
And I wonder how I've been so blind
Why did I wait 'til we'd been cornered by reavers
to tell you what's on my mind?
I never told you that I thought you were pretty
never knowing you were feeling this pain
Like a moonbrain I just stood on my honor
'cause in the Black nothing else remains
I wonder why I didn't know that I loved you
And I wonder how I've been so blind
Why did I wait 'til we'd been cornered by reavers
to tell you what's on my mind?
I never asked you if you really loved me
scared of what answer you might give
but now I know that you want me that way
To hell with this, you know I'm going to live
