Song lyrics that actually say those three little words--"I LOVE YOU"

I started wondering this while listenting to Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello”

Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven’t got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you

Start with the classics -

PS I Love You - Beatles

I Just Called to Say i Love You - Stevie Wonder

I honestly Love You—Olivia Newton-John
I Love You—Sarah McLachlan

“I love you. I honestly love you.”

-I Honestly Love You, Olivia Newton-John

"Then you couldn’t make things new, just by saying “I Love You.”

-More Than Words, Extreme

“I bruise you you bruise me/ We both bruise too easily/ Too easily to let it show I love you and that’s all I know”

-All I Know, Garfunkel

Paul McCartney Silly Love Songs

Sonic Youth “I Love You Golden Blue.”
The Doors “Hello, I Love You.”

“Something Stupid” by the Sinatras.

Plain White T’s - 1,2,3,4

Give me more lovin then I’ve ever had.
Make it all better when I’m feelin sad.
Tell me that i’m special even when I know I’m not.
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad.
Barely gettin mad,
I’m so glad I found you.
I love bein around you.
You make it easy,
as easy as 1 2, (1 2 3 4.)
Theres only one thing to do three words for you.
I love you.
(I love you)

Also from the Beatles: Michelle (‘I love you, I love you, I love you, that’s all I have to say.’) and Love Me Do (‘Love, love me do, you know I love you.’).
