I Know There's A Word Lyrics
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.
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, '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.
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 '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'.
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 think i know the word... it is on the tip of my tounge too.
ive already had that word too... in my mind a minute ago...its ..gee i forgot!

I believe the word is already in the song.
To me, it sounds like she figures out 'the word' at the end of the song. That's how I've interpreted it since the first time I heard it and it remains one of my favorites from Aimee.
The word is "mercy."
