Baby Girl, I love you so great that I wrote you this song
C#m7 C#m7/A C#m7/F#
and to show you how much I really care it sounds like every other one
C#m7/B C#m7/C
C#m7 C#m7/A
The beat kicks in and then I sing a bit more rythmically
C#m7/F# C#m7/B C#m7/C
To make it sensual I sing it in a minor key
C#m7 C#m7/A
I move my hands like I'm pushing someone in front of me
C#m7/F# C#m7/B C#m7/C A
Now that's the first verse and now I'm gonna take it to the bridge
G#m F#m
I say something bout how I dont wanna break up
G#m A
then i turn around and rhyme it with make up
G#m F#m
I tell you that we should be together (How Long)
G#m
Forever (That's Long)
A
and Ever (So Long)
G#m F#m
Girl your always in my heart (In my Heart)
G#m A
and I never want to be apart (Never be apart)
G#m F#m
Honey you'll always be mine (Baby be Mine)
G#m F#m
Baby girl it's chorus time
A B
This is how you write a love song
G#m F#m
Yeah this is how you write a cliche love song
A B
This is how you write a love song
Yeah a shitty 90's R n' B love song
C#m7 C#m7/A
This is my backup and he sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
C#m7/F# C#m7/B C#m7/C
He takes the words I sing and sings them after me (Sings em after me)
C#m7 C#m7/A
He emphasises words and sings them emphatically (I sing EMPHATICALLY)
C#m7/F# A
Now listen to us singing acapella harmony
G#m F#m
Now were back at the bridge
G#m A
I haven't written anything for this
G#m F#m G#m A
So. I'm. gooo honna. streeh heeetch. ooout. the words.
G#m F#m G#m
repeating everything i say
A
Til I get (Til I get)
G#m
Til I get (Til I get)
F#m
Til I get (Til I get)
G#m F#m
Til I get back to the chorus
A B
This is how you write a love song
G#m F#m
Yeah a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty love song
A B
And to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
C#m G#m
And cut the music while I sing a long noooooooote
C#m G#m
Hey girl I've been standing up the back not doing much for this song
C#m
But that's because my talents are quite limited
G#m
But that don't mean that I love you any less
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice)
C#m
It just it's so hard for me to find the words
G#m
To really express the way that I feel about you girl
C#m
Especially when I have to worry about fitting those words to music
G#m
And there's some kind of rhyme structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
C#m
I know it's lazy song writing but I dont care
G#m
Cos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
C#m
girl You might think it's weird girl
G#m
that three guys are singing about the one girl girl
C#m
But let me tell you something girl it's not weird at all
G#m
In fact girl It's an industry standard
and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
C#m G#m
Well girl I better wrap this up about now cos I just about to cut off by..
F#m
Woahowoahowoahoahoh
A B
Baby I wrote you a love song
G#m F#m
It wasn't hard It really didn't take long
A B
A totally generic love song
G#m F#m
Yeah really this could be about anyone, but it's for you
A B G#m F#m
yeah this is a love song, Non-Specific girl
A B
To let you know we take it seriously
C Gm
Then watch as we change the key
Bb C
When you change the key in a love song
Am Gm
It means your singing passionately
Bb C
but We still haven't reached the end
C# G#m
now were gonna change the key again
F# C#
Look at me I'm singing a love song
Bbm G#m
Yeah anyone can sing a shitty love
F# C#
Our love is so unique
Bbm F#
That I copied every other shitty love song
Girl
