Buh buh buh buh
Buh buh buh buh
I love you.

Whoah, little girl
Whoah, little girl

You wonder why I stop and stare
Every time that you are near
Just because I love you.

The silly things I say and do
Are all designed to get attention from you
Just because I love you.

(Listen)
Hey, girl, would you believe
He’s slowly going out of his head.

And it’s just because, just because I love you.

Ah, if you were mine I’d promise you
I’d do all I can to make your dreams come true
Just because I love you.

(Listen)
Hey, girl, would you believe
He’s slowly going out of his head.

Oh, and it’s just because, just because I love you.

Whoah, little girl, just because I love you

Believe me, girl, this is true
Don’t want no other love but you.

Just because I love you.

Oh, watch me, baby, hear me say
Gonna marry you, girl, and take you away.

Just because I love you.

Oh, that is why I stop and stare
Every time you are near.

Just because I love you.

Believe me, girl, this is true
Don’t want nobody else but you…
