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-ay-ay-ay-ay-by"
So I said, "What you're sayin', 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'
Somethin' started burnin' in my heart"
I said, "Stop this crazy talk
Leave right now and close the door"
She said, "But 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-ay-ay-ay-ay-by", yes, she did
So now I'm up in the courts, pleadin' my case from the witness box
Tellin' 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 protested
She just feels rejected, had her heart broke 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' makes her lose it
'Cause she can't separate the man from the music
And I'm sayin' all this in the stand
While my girl cries tears from the gallery
This has got bigger than I ever could've planned
Like that song by The Zutons "Valerie"
So the jury don't look like they're buyin' it
This is makin' me nervous
Arms crossed, screw faced, like I'm tryin' it
Their eyes fixed on me like I'm murderous
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-ay-ay-ay-ay-by"
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, no, no-no-no", mmm
