Lyrics

It's been said more than ten million times or more today
And each time someone said it
It was special in its own little way
Now for the time you didn't believe me
When you heard me say, mmm-hmm
Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
If I could count up the songs
In my life that have used the word
I'd be humming for days
Melodies some you've never heard
But like no other time you hear it
And you know it's true (and you know it’s true)
Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
Well, well
Tell me 'bout the times
Tell me 'bout the times
Tell me ‘bout it, babe
Someone leaned over
And whispered softly in your ear (I love you in your ear)
So many times
So many times
I bet you can't count 'em
Love is the strongest force on this earth
And love is perfect
Why a tongue can accuse
And carry all sorts of bad news (bad news, bad news baby)
A lie will deceive you
And then again it's just low (low)
But there are three little words
That always remain true mmm-hmm
Ooh honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
Yeah, honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
Oh, babe
Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Like no other time you heard it
But you know that it’s true (and you know that it’s true)
Oh baby, mm-hmm
Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
