the way my song goes lyrics

I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG FOR YOU
SO I STARTED OUT WITH A NOTE OR TWO
AND I SANG BABY I LOVE YOU
BUT THEY ALL JUST SEEMED LIKE HOLLOW WORDS
NO MEANING THINGS I'VE ALREADY HEARD
IN A MILLION OTHER TUNES
BUT I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY
AND UNTIL I CAN FIND A BETTER WAY TO SAY

I LOVE YOU BOY
I NEED YOU BOY
I JUST WANNA BE YOUR GIRL
YOU ARE MY WHOLE WORLD
WRAPPED UP IN THE PRETTIEST BOW
THAT'S THE WAY MY SONG GOES

I APOLOGIZE FOR SIMPLICITY
AND MY LACK OF POETRY
BUT I'M SPEAKING FROM MY HEART
WHEN I THINK OF WHAT I WANNA SAY
AND LOOK AT YOU I LOSE MY PLACE
CAUSE BABY YOU'RE SUCH A WORK OF ART
OH AND HOW DO YOU PUT THAT IN A SONG
WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I SING SOUNDS SO WRONG

EXCEPT I LOVE YOU BOY
I NEED YOU BOY
I JUST WANNA BE YOUR GIRL
YOU ARE MY WHOLE WORLD
WRAPPED UP IN THE PRETTIEST BOW
THAT'S THE WAY MY SONG GOES

THERE'S NO KISS LIKE YOURS
THERE'S NO HEART AS KIND
YOU BLOW ME AWAY
YOU BLOW MY MIND

I LOVE YOU BOY
I NEED YOU BOY
I JUST WANNA BE YOUR GIRL
YOU ARE MY WHOLE WORLD
I LOVE YOU BOY
I NEED YOU BOY
I JUST WANNA BE YOUR GIRL
YOU ARE MY WHOLE WORLD
WRAPPED UP IN THE PRETTIEST BOW
IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE WELL NOW YOU KNOW
AND THAT'S THE WAY MY SONG GOES
THAT'S THE WAY MY SONG GOES
