I Love You

I Love You

The way you look at me 
It isn't fair
Because I can't resist your hypnotic stare
I run my hands through your hair
You just turn away 
And act like nothing is there
Girl you do something to me
Can't you see it my eyes?
If you say no that is a lie
The passion, the fire
Can't you see that your my one desire?

Words can't describe the way I feel
Never felt something like this before
Never have I felt something so real
When it's just you and I
God I've never felt so I alive
I keep wanting to tell you more and more
It's a long shot 
But you're the best I got
I hope you feel the same way I do
So I can finally say "I love you"

Girl you tease me 
When you do things that make my crazy
The times you lay your head on my chest
It just makes my heart pound
I wonder at times
Is that your mission, your quest?
To do things that I consider torture
When you use your body with such a gesture
Baby, don't deny what we feel
Becuase the more you do
It makes me ill

Words can't describe the way I feel
When I see your smile 
It's like I'm frozen in time
Never have I felt something so real
When it's just you and I
Girl I've never felt so alive
I keep wanting to tell you everytime I look in your eyes
It's a long shot 
But you're the best I got
I hope you feel the same way I do
Here it goes..
"I love you"

A long pause followed
After that my heart sank
Because I believed that I had made a huge mistake
I waited for an answer
But no answer came
I start to walk away 
With nothing left to say
I kept walking until I heard her say my name..

I stopped in my tracks
Wondering what she was going to say
I turn to look at her
She had tears in her eyes.
"I was hoping you would say that one day."

I pulled her close to hug her tight
This time she didn't put up a fight
Our faces coming closer 
Like a gravitational pull
To go in for the kiss
Still waiting for the words to leave her lips
Still wondering does she feel the same way I do
"Baby, I love you too."


Words can't describe the way I feel
To hear you say those words
Now our love is real
Girl when it's just you and I 
I've never felt so alive
It was a long shot
But you're the best I got
For those words to leave your lips
Now our love can exist
Our love finally true,
All because we said those three little words:
"I Love You"
