Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
La-la
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
La-la
La-la
Ooh, ooh
La-la
[Verse 1]
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
Passed them by
Are you in the center ring?
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try?
Let me try
Now, I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even know a song to sing
[Chorus]
All I know is
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Oh, baby, please, now
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you," oh
[Verse 2]
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
One for me
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see
You will see
[PreChorus]
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Oh, baby, please, now
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Oh, yeah, yeah
[PreChorus]
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Yes, to you, listen to me
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Oh, you got to understand, now
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Oh, come on and take my hand, now
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Means, "I love you"
Come on, and be my only one now
