One, two, three, four
Give me more lovin' than I've ever had.
Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad.
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not.
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad.
Barely gettin' mad,
I'm so glad I found you.
I love being around you.

It's easy as one, two, one, two, three, four.
There's only one thing, two do, three words four you.

There's only one way, two say, those three words
And that's what I'll do.
I love you.
(I love you)

I love being around you.
