143 – Musiq Soulchild
how many times have i called you
while you were working just to say –
left messages on your answer machine
about three or four times a day
there aren’t many more ways
in words that i can say
so i’ll just say it numerically
from my heart to you 143
so many times i’ve bought roses
just to see that smile on your face
i can’t remember how many emails i sent you
just to tell you ’bout my day
there aren’t many more ways
in words that i can say
so i’ll just say it numerically
from my soul to you 143
girl you know you are so special to me
and you deserve to be treated exclusively
i treat you like valentine’s day 365 a year
make sure that everything you need will always be right there
and i just refuse to be your typical, ordinary,
run-of-the-mill, garden-variety lover
i’ll make sure everyday you life will be like christmas eve
i wanna make you feel fine just like a summer breeze
’cause i just refuse to be your predictable, average,
run-of-the-mill, garden-variety lover
see sometimes words may get in the way
of the things that you really, really mean to say
so i wanna take out this time to make sure that
how i really feel gets through to you
cause listen there aren’t many more ways
in words that i can say
so i chose to tell you how i feel in a numerical way
got so tired of trying to find the most complicated ways
of sayin it to you
so i simplified it
broke it down to 143 and –
that means I LOVE YOU
