so i have under two minutes to sing u this song
it's quite the challenge actually because ive loved u so long
n i kno im always writin so u think im good with words
but i can hardly express how i feel cause words arent why love is real
there was a message in a bottle at the bottom of the sea
somebody mistook rock for paper accid-d-dentally
so their letter never made it to the lover they adore
i had to fish it from the ocean floor
and i kno u wont believe me but i swear to god it's true
the letter said “i love u but i dunno why i do”
and thats exactly when it hit me thats exactly how i feel
cause tho my love is real i dunno why i love you i just do
now i have under fifty seconds to finish this song
it's still surprising people wonder how weve lasted so long
do u remember when we wed how everyone said it was wrong
well really who cares how they feel? wise friends arent why love is real!
and i dunno why i love you i just do
now theres a singer in new york — his name is dave deporis
and i stole a line of verse from him to make my chorus
and id write it by myself except what can u do but steal
when what u wanna say has already been written?
n this happens all the time with books n songs n even wine
except the last one is a secret since for that one youll get fined
im getting off the subject but at least it's not a crime
that tho my love is real and oh my love it's real
i dunno why i love you i just do
