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