You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me (I love you)
Now can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me (I love you)
Now can't you see?
What's wrong with that?
I need to know
'Cause here I go again
I love you
I love you
Love doesn't come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, love isn't silly, love isn't silly at all, yeah, yeah
How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you)
I love you
I love you
I love you (I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?)
I love you (ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see?)
I love you (I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?)
I love you (ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see?)

I love you (ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see)
You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh, no
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
