I love you baby, 1000 times!

Remember love note
The teacher found in school?
The whole class laughing;
Gee, I felt just like a fool!
Here comes the very funny funny line,
I had to write 1000 times
That I love you, love you, (love you, I love you) 
I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you)
Girl, I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you) 1000 times,
Baby, I love you, you know that I do!

The love notes I treasured,
Loving you was not a sin.
Punishment was pleasure,
Oh, I'd do it all over again!
I wrote and I wrote till my fingers got sore,
I had to write just a little bit more,
'Cause I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you)
Girl,  I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you)
Girl, I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you) 1000 times,
Oh, I love you, you know that I do!

Did you read my letter?
It's been on my mind.
All it said was
That I love you 1000 times.
From then until this very same day,
I still feel the same old way,
'Cause I love you, love you, (love you, I love you)
Girl,  I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you)
Girl, I love you, I love you, (love you, I love you) 1000 times...
