[Verse 1]
Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Verse 2]
You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is pure and simple
And you must realise
That it's coming from my heart
And not my head
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Bridge 1]
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But this feeling doesn't come along
Everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
[Chorus]
I love you
(I love you)
I honestly love you
[Bridge 2]
If we both were born in another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
[Pre-Chorus 4]
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Outro]
I honestly love you
Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Verse 2]
You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is pure and simple
And you must realise
That it's coming from my heart
And not my head
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Bridge 1]
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But this feeling doesn't come along
Everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
[Chorus]
I love you
(I love you)
I honestly love you
[Bridge 2]
If we both were born in another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
[Pre-Chorus 4]
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
[Chorus]
I love you
I honestly love you
[Outro]
I honestly love you
