Lyrics
Don't you know that I love you?
Expressing a question about the listener's awareness of the speaker's love.
Honest, I do (oh, honest, I do)
Affirming the sincerity of the speaker's love.
I'd never placed no one above you
Emphasizing that the speaker has not prioritized anyone above the listener.
Please tell me you love me (tell me you love me)
Pleading for confirmation of love from the listener.
Stop drivin' me mad
Requesting the listener to stop causing distress or frustration.
'Cause you're the sweetest and the best thing baby (sweetest and the best thing, yeah)
Complimenting the listener as the sweetest and best thing in the speaker's life.
That I've ever had

Oh, don't you know that I love you? (you know that I love)
Reiterating the declaration of love towards the listener.
Honest, baby, I do

And I'd never place no one above you, no

Ooh-ooh

Hmm-hmm
-Oh, you know I love you, baby
Reiterating the speaker's love for the listener.
Honest, I do (honest, I do)

And I'd never place, oh-oh

No one above you, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know that I love you, baby, love you, baby (love you, baby)
