Now if I said it real pretty in a pretty rhyme
Does your mind get cloudy that's a dirty crime
Does it do things any good to tell you
That I'm standing here because- I love you

You say the voice is soothing got those hypnotic eyes
But man I wouldn't want to hand you any alibis
You can blame it all on what you can
But do you see just where I am- I love you

I had a flash, I saw you crying in the night
I said a prayer, I saw you walking in the light
And you were saying how it all once was
And how your life has changed because- He loves you
And then you turned and told someone
Who wouldn't believe you when you said- I love you

Now if I find it rough going in expressing myself
And between the lines it's coming from somebody else
Don't you leave it altogether
Put this upon the shelf- I said I love you
