"WHY I LOVE YOU"
WHY DO I LOVE YOU?
YOU SAY
NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN THERE,
ALL ALONG THE WAY
YOU MAKE MY HEART SMILE,
AND MY PULSE RACE
I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO TAKE THINGS
AT YOUR OWN PACE
IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
INSIDE AND OUT
NO MAN MEASURES UP TO YOU
WITHOUT A DOUBT
THEY PROMISE ME MONEY
MARRIAGE AND DREAMS
BUT WITH THEM I DON'T WANT
ANY OF THESE THINGS
WE'LL HAVE THOSE THINGS
ONE DAY, YOU'LL SEE
I REALIZE NOW,
WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
CAN'T BE RATED
YOUR LOVE FOR ME
CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED
YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOUR VERY OWN QUEEN,
EVEN WHEN, TO YOU - I'VE BEEN MEAN
YOU'RE MORE MAN, THAN I THINK YOU KNOW,
FROM UP CLOSE AND FAR AWAY I'VE WATCHED YOU GROW
YOU'RE KIND, COMPASSIONATE,
AND UNDERSTANDING WITH ME
YOU'RE SENSITIVE, LOVING, SMART,
AND UNIQUE
THOUGH, SOMETIMES WE DISAGREE
YOUR INTELLECT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME
YOU ALWAYS ENCOURAGE,
NEVER DISCOURAGE
THESE ARE THE QUALITIES
IN YOU, I SEE
THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU,
AND THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!
