D#             A#                G#
I know I was a fool when I first met you, girl
D#               A#          G#
But once I was a danger to myself
D#              A#                    G#
But one look at you and all that was changed, girl
D#           A#              G#
I knew in my heart I'd been saved

Chorus:
          Cm A#         G# D#
Because I love to love you
            Cm   A#            G# D#
You got me tied down, my honey bee
           Cm                   A#         G# Cm
And yes, I love to love you the way that I do
A#
You were always on my mind
G#
So I say it one more time
    D#    G#
I love you
   D#     A# D#
I love you

Once I thought that life was just a wasteland
Friends and power were all I craved
One look at you and I was changed, girl
I know in my heart I had been saved

Chorus:
Because I love to love you
You got me tied down, my honey bee
And yes, I love to love you the way I do
You were always on my mind
So I say it one more time
I love you
I love you
