I Love You Because
Willie & Merle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you because you understand, dear, every single thing I try to do
And you're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
But most of all I love you 'cause 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

I love you because my heart is lighter every time I'm walking by your side
And I love you because the future's brighter, the door to happiness you opened wide
No matter what may be the style or season
I know your love will always see me through





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