[Verse 1]
You say don’t bring sand down to the beach(?)
There ain’t no other place where I’d rather be
Never really had a way with words
Now I’m not afraid to say the words
I would trade diamonds and jewelry
Just to have you here where you’re supposed to be
Where I take you, you can’t take it back
When I say it hope you say it back

[Chorus]
These 3 words, these 8 letters
Say it once I’m yours forever now
It’s not “I like you”, it’s not “I need you”, it’s not “I want you” oh, oh
These 3 words, just 8 letters
I would never say it unless I meant it
I l-l-l-l-l-love you, I l-l-l-l-l-love you

[Verse 2]
Even when I try to give you attitude
You just say oh well and say I’m super cute
I’m the type of girl who likes her space
But when you’re gone, damn, I miss your face
When it comes to feelings we play hide and seek
Act like you don’t care and it’s kinda sweet
I got your hoodie I won’t give it back
You got my heart don’t you play with that

[Chorus]
These 3 words, these 8 letters
Say it once I’m yours forever now
It’s not “I like you”, it’s not “I need you”, it’s not “I want you” oh, oh
These 3 words, just 8 letters
I would never say it unless I meant it
I l-l-l-l-l-love you, I l-l-l-l-l-love you

[Post-Chorus]
Da da da da, da da da, da da-da-da-da
Da da-da-da-da da da da-da, da da-da-da-da da da da-da
(x2)

[Chorus]
These 3 words, these 8 letters
Say it once I’m yours forever now
It’s not “I like you”, it’s not “I need you”, it’s not “I want you” oh, oh
These 3 words, just 8 letters
I would never say it unless I meant it
I l-l-l-l-l-love you, I l-l-l-l-l-love you
