[00:24.41]Baby girl
[00:25.529]My love is so great that
[00:27.272]I wrote you this song
[00:29.968]And to show you how much I really care
[00:32.794]It sounds like every other one
[00:36.557]The beat kicks in and then
[00:37.719]I sing a bit more rythmically
[00:39.473]To make it sensual I sing it in a minor key
[00:42.462]I move my hands like I'm pushing someone
[00:44.111]In front of me
[00:45.330]Now that's the first verse and now
[00:46.780]I'm gonna take it to the bridge
[00:49.282]I say something 'bout how I don't wanna break up
[00:52.351]Then I turn around and rhyme it with make up
[00:55.375]I tell you that we should be together
[00:57.683]How long forever
[00:59.259]That's long and ever
[01:00.568]So Long
[01:01.392]Girl you're always in my heart in my heart
[01:04.99]And I never wanna be apart never be apart
[01:07.404]Honey you'll always be mine baby be mine
[01:10.286]Baby girl it's chorus time
[01:13.667]This is how you write a love song
[01:16.243]Yeah this is how you write a cliche love song
[01:19.731]This is how you write a love song
[01:21.983]Yeah a shitty 90's r n'b love song
[01:24.600]This is my backup and he sings
[01:25.671]Quite breathilly breathilly
[01:27.415]He takes the words I sing and sings
[01:29.12]Them after me sings em after me
[01:30.452]He emphasises words and sings
[01:31.916]Emphatically I sing emphatically
[01:33.243]Now listen to us singing acapella harmony
[01:37.875]Now we're back at the bridge
[01:40.225]I haven't written anything for this
[01:43.205]So I'm gonna stretch out the words
[01:50.186]Repeating everything I say
[01:53.764]Til I get til I get
[01:55.194]Til I get til I get
[01:56.603]Til I get til I get
[01:58.106]Yeah til I get back to the chorus
[02:01.821]This is how you write a love song
[02:03.977]Yeah a shitty shitty shitty shitty love song
[02:07.233]And to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
[02:10.104]And cut the music while I sing a long note
[02:18.752]Hey girl i've been standing at the
[02:20.505]Back not doing much for this song
[02:22.669]But that's because my talents are quite limited
[02:24.768]But that don't mean that I love you any less
[02:26.733]In fact it means the opposite
[02:28.373]I'm just showing off my voice
[02:30.329]It's just that it's so hard
[02:31.265]For me to find the words
[02:32.497]To really express the way
[02:33.490]That I feel about you girl
[02:35.738]Especially when I have to worry about
[02:36.937]Fitting those words to music
[02:38.26]And there's some kind of rhyme structure
[02:40.362]Involved meaningless whisper
[02:42.522]I know it's lazy song writing but I dont care
[02:45.157]Cos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
[02:48.666]Girl you might think it's weird girl
[02:50.332]That there's three guys singing
[02:51.141]About just one girl girl
[02:52.788]But let me tell you something
[02:53.788]Girl it's not weird at all
[02:55.373]In fact girl it's an industry standard
[02:57.266]And it happens all the time
[02:58.825]Happens all the time
[03:00.630]Well girl I better wrap this up about now cos
[03:03.152]I'm about to get cut off by
[03:07.860]Baby I wrote you a love song
[03:10.260]It wasn't hard and it really didn't take long
[03:13.448]A totally generic love song
[03:16.112]Yeah really this could be about anyone
[03:19.140]But it's for you
[03:20.76]Yeah this is your love song
[03:22.604]Non specific girl
[03:25.288]To let you know we take it seriously
[03:28.401]Then watch as we change the key
[03:31.456]When you change the key in a love song
[03:34.490]It means you're singing passionately
[03:37.251]But we still haven't reached the end
[03:40.67]Now were gonna go and change the key again
[03:43.811]Look at me I'm singing a love song
[03:46.243]Yeah anyone can sing a shitty love song
[03:49.576]Our love is so unique
[03:52.332]That I copied every other shitty love song
[03:56.24]Yeah girl
