Suzy Q, baby I love you, Suzy Q.
Chicago - “Call On Me”
Call on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too, ooh, ooh, ooh
Billy Joel - “Just the Way You Are”
I love you just the way you are.
Elton John - “Philadelphia Freedom” (although it’s not about a person)
Philadelphia freedom, shine on me
I love you. Shine a light
Doo, doodle-oo, doodle-oo, doodle-oo-dee-oodle,
Doo, doodle-oo, doodle-oo, I love you
From “The Doodlin’ Song” in this Dick Van Dyke episode at 22:50 (song starts at 21:30) http://www.hulu.com/watch/113984/the-dick-van-dyke-show-too-many-stars
I Love You Ono
La La Love You
There was a “La-La Means I Love You” from the Delfonics–a huge hit in their Philadelphia home ground when I lived there, though apparently not so hot everywhere else.
I’m curious why this question was asked in the first place. It’s not like the “three little words” (and that’s a song itself) are unusual in pop music, as this thread clearly shows.
And another Beatles song - Michelle (bilingual, no less)
See post number nine, number nine, number nine…
Sorry - I did read the thread but somehow missed this one. At least the mistake was such that you could make a very appropriate joke about it!
Love You I Do, sung by Jennifer Hudson, in the movie but not the Broadway musical (lyrics by Henry Krieger).
