Because I Love You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you
Would you ever, let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight
If I said that I would love you every single night
Would you ever, let me down?
Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda sad, it's just that
I'm worried, so worried
That you let me down

Because I love you, love you
Love you, so don't let me down

If I swam the longest river just to call your name
If I said the way I feel for you would never change
Would you ever, fool around

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda bad, just that
I'm worried, 'cause' I'm so worried
That you let me down

Because I (love you, love you)
Love you, love you

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda bad, it's just that
I'm worried, 'cause' I'm so worried
That you let me down





Because I love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you

"Because I Love You"

If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you,
if I crossed a million oceans just to be with you,
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight,
if I said that I would love you every single night,
Would you ever let me down?

Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kinds sad,
it's just that I'm worried,
so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I love you, love you, love you, so don't let me down.

If I swam the longest river just to call your name,
if I said the way I feel for you would never change,
Would you ever fool around?
Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad, it's just that I'm worried,
I'm so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I(love you, love you), love you, love you.

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad, it's just that I'm worried,
Yes, I'm so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I love you, love you,

Oooh, I love you, love you, love you.
