She Said

She said, "I love you boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you baby, oh, oh, oh, oh"

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you baby"

So I said, "What you're saying girl, it can't be right

How can you be in love with me?

We only just met tonight"

So she said, "Boy, I loved you from the start

When I first heard 'Love Goes Down'

Something started burning in my heart"

I said, "Stop this crazy talk

And leave right now and close the door"

She said, "But I love you boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you baby, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you baby"

Yes, she did

So now I'm up in the courts, pleading my case from the witness box

Telling the judge and jury the same thing that I said to the cops

On the day that I got arrested, "I'm innocent," I contested

"She just feels rejected, had her heart broken by someone she's obsessed with

'Cause she likes the sound of my music

Which makes her a fan of my music

That's why 'Love Goes Down' makes her lose it

'Cause she can't separate the man from the music"

And I'm saying all this in the stand

While my girl cries tears from the galleries

Got bigger than I ever could have planned

Like that song by The Zuton's "Valerie"

So the jury don't look like they're buying it

And it's making me nervous

Arms crossed, screw faced, like I'm trying it

Their eyes fixed on me like I'm murderous

They wanna lock me up

And throw away the key

They wanna send me down

Even though I told them she

She said, "I love you boy, I love you so"

She said, "I love you baby, oh, oh, oh, oh" (yes, you did)

She said, "I love you more than words can say"

She said, "I love you baby"

So I said, "Then why the hell you gotta treat me this way?

You don't know what love is

You wouldn't do this if you did

Oh no, no, no, no"
