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
