Musiq Soulchild - 143 Song Lyrics

how many times have i called you
while you were working just to say -
left messages on your answer machine
about three or four times a day

there aren't many more ways
in words that i can say
so i'll just say it numerically
from my heart to you 143

so many times i've bought roses
just to see that smile on your face
i can't remember how many emails i sent you
just to tell you 'bout my day

there aren't many more ways
in words that i can say
so i'll just say it numerically
from my soul to you 143

girl you know you are so special to me
and you deserve to be treated exclusively

i treat you like valentine's day 365 a year
make sure that everything you need will always be right there
and i just refuse to be your typical, ordinary,
run-of-the-mill, garden-variety lover

i'll make sure everyday you life will be like christmas eve
i wanna make you feel fine just like a summer breeze
'cause i just refuse to be your predictable, average,
run-of-the-mill, garden-variety lover

see sometimes words may get in the way
of the things that you really, really mean to say
so i wanna take out this time to make sure that
how i really feel gets through to you
cause listen there aren't many more ways
in words that i can say
so i chose to tell you how i feel in a numerical way
got so tired of trying to find the most complicated ways
of sayin it to you

so i simplified it
broke it down to 143 and -
that means I LOVE YOU
