I Love You Lyrics

[Intro]
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la

[Verse 1]
I like your smile, I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way
You're such a star
But that's not why I love you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?

[Chorus]
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
[Post-Chorus]
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la

[Verse 2]
I like the way you misbehave
When we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool
When I am complicated

But that's not why I love you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?

[Chorus]
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Even though we didn't make it through
I am always here for you
You


[Chorus]
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you

[Outro]
La-la, la-la-la-la (Oh-oh)
La-la, la-la-la-la (That's why I love you)
La-la, la-la-la-la (Oh-oh)
La-la, la-la-la-la (That's why I love you)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Between Lavigne’s 2007 album, The Best Damn Thing, and 2011’s Goodbye Lullaby, she divorced Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley – who continues to be her friend and collaborator – and embarked on a romance with The Hills' hunk Brody Jenner. As the tracks on Goodbye Lullaby were penned over a series of several years, Avril’s fans wanted to know if she was singing about her ex-husband or her new boyfriend on this song. However, the singer was vague on the album’s track-by-track, where she doesn’t divulge when this song was written and omits naming the person she loves most in the whole world.
