I Say I Love You
Johnny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do.
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear.
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me,
I know your love will always see me through.
I love you for the way you never doubt me.
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

No matter what may be the style or season,
I know your heart will always be true.




I love you for a hundred thousand reasons,
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.
