  • She said, "I love you, boy, I love you so"
    She said, "I love you, baby, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
    She said, "I love you more than words could say"
    She said, "I love you, ba-ay-ay-ay-ay-by"

    So I said, "Wat you're saying, girl, it can't be right
    How you can you be in love with me
    We only just met tonight"
    So she said, "But, boy, I loved you from the start
    When I first heard love goes down
    Something started burning in my heart"
    I said, "Stop this crazy talk
    Leave right now and close the door" (she said)

    She said, "But I love you, boy, I love you so"
    She said, "I love you, baby, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
    She said, "I love you more than words could say"
    She said, "I love you, ba-ay-ay-ay-ay-by" (yes, you did)

    So now I'm up in the courts pleading my case from the witness box
    Tellin' the judge and the jury the same thing that I said to the cops
    On the day that I got arrested, I'm innocent, I protested
    She just feels rejected, had her heart broke by someone she obsessed with
    'Cause she likes the sound of my music
    Which makes her a fan of my music
    That's why love goes down makes her lose it
    'Cause she can't separate the man from the music
    And I'm saying all this in the stand
    While my girl cries tears in the gallery
    This has got bigger then I ever could have planned
    Like that song by the Zutons, Valerie
    Said, "The jury don't look like they're buying it"
    And this is making me nervous
    Arms crossed, screw faced like I'm trying it
    Their eyes fixed on me like a murderer's
    They wanna lock me up and throw away the key
    They wanna send me down even though I told 'em, she

    She said, "I love you, boy, I love you so"
    She said, "I love you, baby, oh oh oh oh" (yes, she did)
    She said, "I love you more than words can say"
    She said, "I love you, ba-ay-ay-ay-ay-by"
    So I said, "Then why the hell you gotta treat me this way?"
    You don't know what love is
    You wouldn't do this if you did
    Oh no, no, no, no (oh) Writer/s: Benjamin Paul Balance-Drew, Eric Appapoulay, Richard Cassell, Tom Wright-Goss
