Its introspective lyrics about the power of simple declarations of love provide rich context for understanding nuanced English expressions of affection. Listen closely to the interplay of vocals and the sparse, atmospheric production—it's a song that proves simplicity can hold immense emotional weight, making it an excellent piece for immersing yourself in contemporary English music and its poetic depth.
[English]
I met a guy at the clubI let him know I'm in love
I met a girl at the bar
I let her know who you are
I told her you are the love of my life
And one day you're gonna be my wife, and
We are gonna have some babies together
Uh ah uh ah uh ah
I told him you are the man of my dreams
You saved me from drowning in the streams
I know we're really gonna last forever, and ever
It was those 3 Words that saved my life, life
It wasn't complicated
Wasn't premeditated
It wasn't underrated
Boy I'm so glad you stated those
3 Words that saved my life
It wasn't complicated
Wasn't premeditated
To you I'm dedicated
Let's go ahead and say it
I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life
I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life
You know you're holding my heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You know I'm so in love with you
Can't nothing tear us apart, no
I said, I- l-o-v-e –y-o-u, I'm so into you girl, she said
M-e-t-o o, it's obvious I'm so into you boy
So why don't we, we hold (hold) on for (to) love (love)
Through the ups and downs never let go
Holding on forever never (never) let go
It all started with 3 Words, saved my life
It wasn't complicated, It wasn't complicated, It wasn't complicated
Baby it's 3 Words, save my life
I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life
I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life
