ILY2 – Charli XCX


I love you too

I love you too

I love you too

You know, I love you too

Lookin’ at you, lookin’ at me

We think the same things

I wanna take this seriously, oh (oh)

Don’t wanna dance alone

So come here with me

You’re made of glass, I’m made of stone

One more thing to say before you go

I don’t talk a lot, talk a lot

So you should listen up, I mean it when I say

I’m not afraid, it’s okay

You know, I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too

You know, I love you too

Now you’re with me, and now I’m with you

We’re here forever

How does it feel knowin’ the truth? Oh (oh)

Don’t wanna dance alone

So come here with me

You’re in a class, all of your own

One more thing I’ve got to let you know

I don’t talk a lot, talk a lot

So you should listen up, I mean it when I say

I’m not afraid, it’s okay

You know, I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too

You know, I love you too

You know I never really thought about

How it feels to say these words aloud

It’s so weird, but it’s true

Do you ever even think about

How it feels when you are not around?

I’m gonna stay here, ’cause I love you too

‘Cause I love you too

I don’t talk a lot, talk a lot

So you should listen up, I mean it when I say

I’m not afraid, it’s okay

You know, I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too

You know, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too, I love you too

You know, I love you too
