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
I say G#msomething bout how I dont wanna F#mbreak up
then i G#mturn around and rhyme it with Amake up
I G#mtell you that we should be F#mtogether (How Long)
G#mForever (That's Long)
and AEver (So Long)
Girl your G#malways in my F#mheart (In my Heart)
and I G#mnever want to be Aapart (Never be apart)
Honey G#myou'll always be F#mmine (Baby be Mine)
Baby G#mgirl it's chorus F#mtime
AThis is how you write a lBove song
Yeah G#mthis is how you write a cliche F#mlove song
AThis is how you write a Blove 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 Now were back at the F#mbridge
I haven't G#mwritten anything for Athis
So. I'm. G#mgooo honna. F#mstreeh heeetch. G#mooout. the wAords.
G#m repeating F#meverything i G#msay
Til I Aget (Til I get)
Til I G#mget (Til I get)
Til I F#mget (Til I get)
Til I G#mget back to the chorus F#m
AThis is how you write a Blove song
G#mYeah a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty F#mlove song
And to Ashow you I care I throw mBy hands in the air
And cut the music while I sing a long nC#moooooooote G#m
C#mHey girl I've been standing up the back not doing mG#much for this song
But that's because my talents are quite limiteC#md
But that don't mean that I love you any lessG#m
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
To really express theG#m way that I feel about you girl
Especially wheC#mn I have to worry about fitting those words to music
And there's some kind of rhymG#me structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
C#mI know it's lazy song writing but I dont care
G#mCos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
C#m girl You might think it's weird girl
that three guys are singing about theG#m one girl girl
But let me tell you something girl it'C#ms not weird at all
In fact girl It's an industry standardG#m
and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
C#mWell girl I better wrap this up about nowG#m cos I just about to cut off by..
Woahowoahowoahoahoh F#m
ABaby I wrote you a Blove song
It wasn't G#mhard It really didn't F#mtake long
AA totally generic Blove song
Yeah rG#meally this could be about F#manyone, but it's for you
yAeah this is a lovBe song, G#mNon-Specific F#mgirl
TAo let you know we take it sBeriously
Then Cwatch as we change the Gmkey
When you Bbchange the key in a Clove song
It Ammeans your singing passionaGmtely
but We Bbstill haven't reached the Cend
now were C#gonna change the key aG#mgain
F#Look at me I'm singing a lC#ove song
Yeah Bbmanyone can sing a shitty lG#move
OuF#r love is soC# unique
That IBbm copied every otherF# shitty love song
Girl
