Lyrics
How many time have I called you
While were working, just to say
Left messages on your answer machine
About three or four times a day (Mm-mm)
There aren't many more ways
In words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically
From my heart to you one, four three
Ah-no-no-no
(Na-na-na, no)
Do, da-da-da
(Da-doo-da-na-no)
So many times I bought roses
Just to see that smile on your face (Smile on your face)
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you bout my day (Uh-huh, oh)
There aren't many more ways (More ways)
In words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically
From my soul to you one, four, three
Girl, you know you are
So special to me, yeah
And you deserve to be treated
Exclusively
Mmm, I treat you like Valentine's day 365 again
Make sure that everything you need will always be right there
Now I just refuse to be your typical ordinary run of the mill
Garden variety lover
Oh-oh
(Na-na-na, no)
Do-do, do-do
(Na-na-na, no)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(Na-na-na, no)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Na-na-na-na-na, no)
I'll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve
I wanna make you feel fine just like in summer breeze
'Cause I just refuse to be your predictable average run of the mill
Garden variety love
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Oh-oh, ho-oh-oh
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Oh-oh-oh, do, do-do, do, do, do
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Do-do, do, do-oh, oh, oh, do, do-do
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Do, whoa, oh, no-no, do, do-do, do-do
See sometimes words may get in the way
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Oh-ho, of things that you really really mean to say
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
So I wanna take out this time to
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
Make sure that how I really feel gets through to you
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
'Cause listen
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
There are't many more ways and words that I can say
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
So I chose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way to say it to you
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra)
So I simplified and broke it down to one-four-three
And that means, "I love you"
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Sugar, you know
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, woo-woo, ah-ah
(Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra, pa-ra-ra-ra)
