A bustling theater, a noisy lobby
Yokogiru kowashi i kao
Familiar faces pass me by
Tokei ito iriguchi o kōgo ni mite wa
Looking between the clock and the entrance
Dareka o matte iru no ne
Waiting for somebody
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Imademo, I love you so
Still, I love you so
Mōichido chansu o ataete
Please give me another chance
Kon'ya no konsāto anata ni aeru
I'm meeting you at tonight's concert
Yūkiwodashite kitanoni
Even though I brought along some courage
Suikake no tabako mo hai ni naru dake
I'm just smoking a cigarette, the tobacco turning to ash
Shisen wa anata o ou no
Gazing after you
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Kii te yo, I need you so
Listen, I need you so
Omokage ga ima mo tsukimatō
You're still on my mind
Kake daseba soto wa ame
If I run out into the rain
Kono mama ja kaerenai. Oh.
It won't be to go home
Kakeyotte dakishimete
I'll run to you and hug you tight
Kii te yo, I need you so
Listen, I need you so
Kokorokara anatagahoshī no
With all my heart, I want you
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Imademo, I love you so
Still, I love you so

The lyrics of "I Love You So" by Junko Ohashi depict the longing and yearning hearts of lovers trying to reconnect after a breakup. In the bustling theatre lobby, the singer sees familiar faces and wishes to see her loved one again. Through smoking a cigarette and gazing after her love, she finally sees him and begs for another chance to go back to how they used to be together. Throughout the song, the desperate need for love and companionship is evident, highlighting that sometimes the one thing we desire more than anything else is to be with the one we love.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "listen, I need you so" and "still, I love you so" to emphasize how much the singer wants to be with her love, and how she still feels incomplete without him. The third stanza uses a metaphor of running out into the rain to express that even on the darkest of days, she can still find the courage to reach out to him and be held by him once again. The whole song is a plea to her lover to understand her and cherish their relationship, and ultimately give her the chance to love him again.

On this lively stage
In this buzzing lobby
The side of a face I knew long ago
Looking at the time and the entrance
You're waiting for someone
Turning around
Noticing
Even now I love you so
Give me just one more chance
At tonight's concert
I can meet you again
And even though I mustered my courage
There's only ashes left of my cigarette
My eyes still searching for you
Turning around
Noticing
Listen! I love you so
Now our faces meet
I chased you, outside was rain
But I can't go home like this
Running up to you
Holding you close
Listen! I love you so
My heart only wants you
Turning around
Noticing
Even now I love you so
Give me just one more chance
