Lyrics
She said I love you boy
Expressing love for the boy
I love your soul
Expressing love for the boy's soul
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh
Reiterating love for the boy with enthusiasm
She said I love you more than words can say
Expressing deep love beyond words
She said I love you bayayayayby
Repeating love for the boy with playful sounds
So I said, what you saying girl it cant be right
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of her feelings
How can you be in love with me
Questioning the possibility of love after just meeting
We only just met tonight
Highlighting the short duration of their acquaintance
So she said boy I loved you from the start
Claiming she loved him from the beginning
When I first heard love goes down
Referring to a specific moment when love began
Something started burning in my heart
Describing a strong emotional reaction to love
I said stop this crazy talk
Rejecting her claims and asking her to leave
And leave right now and close the door
Insisting on ending the relationship
She said but I love you boy I love you so
Reiterating her love despite the rejection
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing love with enthusiasm
She said I love you more than words can say
Repeating love beyond words
She said I love you bayayayayby (yes you did)
Playfully repeating love with sounds
So now up in the courts
Describing a legal situation
Pleading my case from the witness box
Presenting a case in court
Telling the judge and the jury
Communicating with the judge and jury
With the same thing that I said to the cops
Repeating the same statement made to the police
On the day that I got arrested
Claiming innocence on the day of arrest
Im innocent, I protested
Protesting innocence
She just feels rejected
Noting her feeling of rejection
Had her heart broken by someone shes obsessed with
Explaining her obsession and heartbreak
'Cause she likes the sound of my music
Linking her attraction to the boy's music
Which makes her a fan of my music
Highlighting her fandom of the boy's music
That's why love goes down makes her lose it
Explaining the impact of a specific song on her
'Cause she can't separate the man from the music
Pointing out the difficulty in separating the man from the music
And I'm saying all this in the stand
Continuing the explanation in a legal setting
As my girl cries tears from the galleries
Describing the emotional impact on the girl
Got bigger than I ever could have planned
Unexpectedly gaining popularity
Like that song by the Zutons Valerie
Referencing a song and its relevance
So the jury don't look like their buying it
Noticing skepticism from the jury
And it's making me nervous
Feeling nervous about the trial
Arms crossed screw faced like im trying it
Describing the jury's skeptical demeanor
Their eyes fixed on me like a murder's
Feeling scrutinized like a murderer
They wanna lock me up
Expressing the desire to be imprisoned
And throw away the key
Expressing the severity of punishment desired
They wanna send me down
Repeating the desire for punishment
Even though I told them she
Reiterating her love despite the legal situation
She said I love you boy
Repeating love for the boy
I love your soul
Repeating love for the boy's soul
She said I love you baby oh oh oh oh oh (yes you did)
Reiterating love with enthusiasm
She said I love you more than words can sing
Expressing love beyond words with a twist
She said I love you bayayayayby
Playfully repeating love with sounds
So I said why the hell you gotta treat me this way
Questioning her treatment of him
You don't know what love is
Challenging her understanding of love
You wouldn't do this if you did
Suggesting she wouldn't act this way if she truly knew love
Oh no no no no
Em
