I'm playing guitar
You're asleep upstairs
I try and be quiet
But I know you never care
Tomorrow you'll work
And stay a little late
You'll walk in looking pretty
This is what I'll say

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right

You'll look at me and say thank you
I'll say you're welcome too
You know I really do mean it
I mean it all for you
I'm sorry if I've been weird lately
I get so caught up
In whatever else makes me crazy

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
iIm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
from the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right
I always wanted it to be just right

Well I know I know I know it's not perfect
It's not long enough and its too trite
Well I know I konw I know I'm not always my best for you
And though a melody won't make it alright

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
from the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right
