143 Lyrics

How many times have I called you
While you were working
Just to say?
Left messages on your answering machine
about three or four times a day
There aren't many more ways
and words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically
From my heart to you 143
So many times I bought roses
just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
just to tell you bout my day
There aren't many more ways
and words that I can say
So I'll just say 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 here
Now I just refuse to be your
typical
ordinary
run-of-the-mill
Garden Variety lover
I'll make sure everyday you live 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 yeah
Cause listen,
There aren't many more ways and 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 to say it to you
so I simplified and broke it down in 143
And that means I love you
Sugar, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
