Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could have your heart, I'd show I love you
I'd love you more than I could love myself
Mountain high, or the valley low
You have no idea just how far I'd go, hey, yeah
I'll go put on my good clothes, and I'd sing and dance
I'd take the time and I'd take the chance
I'll make you laugh, I'll make you cry
I'ma tell you like this if you ask me why
[Chorus]
It's all because I love you, I do
I got to be necessary to you
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see
That your love is necessary to me
It's all because I love you, I do
I got to be necessary to you
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see
That your love is necessary to me (To me)
[Verse 2]
When I sing, you know what I do?
I close my eyes and I think of you
When I wake up, I'd like to see
How much more you've become proud of me
I get excited, my eyes tear
It gives me purpose for bein' here
I'd walk the desert and I'd swim the sea
As long as when I get there, you're in love with me
[Chorus]
It's all because I love you, I do
It's all because I love you
I got to be necessary to you (Necessary)
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see
That your love is necessary to me
It's all because I love you, I do (It's all)
I got to be necessary to you
Got to be necessary
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see (Oh, baby)
That your love is necessary to me (Necessary, woo)
[Bridge]
You see, life is so very, very short
Your love is keepin' me alive
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
I pray that you love me
Pray that you love me
'Cause I know if I
Could just hear you say it
Hear you say it
I could make it through the rest of the day
I could make it through the rest of the day
Say that you love me
I pray that you love me
[Chorus]
It's all because I love you, I do
Baby, it's all because I love you
I got to be necessary to you
Everything I do is all because of you
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see
That your love is necessary to me
Your love is everything to me
It's all because I love you, I do
I got to be necessary to you
Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see
That your love is necessary to me (To me)
[Outro]
This be the truest **** ever spoke
I feel naked singin' every note
In my heart, happy, quick take down this note
This be the truest **** ever wrote
