I'm playing guitar
You're asleep upstairs
I try and be quiet
But I know you never care tomorrow you'll work
And stay a little late
You'll walk in looking pretty
And this is what I'll say

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

You look at me and say thank you
I say you're welcome too
You know I really do mean it
I mean it all for you
Sorry if I've been weird lately
I get so fucking caught up
In whatever else makes me crazy
We don't talk enough

But here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

I always wanted it to be just right

I know I know I know it's not perfect
It's not long enough and it's too trite
I know I know I'm not always my best for you
And though a melody won't make it alright

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right
