She Said

She said, "I love you, boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you, baby," oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you, ba-a-a-a-aby"

So I said, "what you're saying, girl, it can't be right

How can you be in love with me?

We only just met tonight"

So she said, "boy, I loved you from the start

When I first heard love goes down

Something started burning in my heart"

I said, "Stop this crazy talk

And leave right now and close the door"

She said, "Boy, I love you, boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you, baby," oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you, ba-a-a-a-aby",

Yes, you did

So now I'm up in the courts, pleading my case from the witness box

Telling the judge and the jury the same thing that I said to the cops

On the day that I got arrested, I'm innocent, I contested

She just feels rejected, had her heart broken by someone she's obsessed with

'Cause she likes the sound of my music, which makes her a fan of my music

That's why love goes down, not to lose it 'cause she can't separate the man from the music

And I'm saying all this in the stand while my girl cries tears from the galleries

Got bigger than I ever could have planned, like that song by the Zutons, Valerie

So the jury don't look like they're buying it and it's making me nervous

Arms crossed, screw faced like I'm trying it, their eyes fixed on me like a murderer's

They wanna lock me up and throw away the key

They wanna send me down even though I told 'em she

She said, "I love you, boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you, baby," oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Yes, you did)

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you, ba-a-a-a-aby"

So I said, "then why the hell you gotta treat me this way?

You don't know what love is

You wouldn't do this if you did"

Oh, no, no, no

Ooh
