Candi Staton - Honest I Do Love You

It's been said more
Than ten million times or more today
And each time someone said it
It was special in their own little way
Now for the time
You didn't believe me
When you hear me say

Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you

If I could count up the songs
In my life that's used the word
I'd be humming for days
Melodies some you've never heard
But like no other time
When you hear
And you know it's true

Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you

Tell me 'bout the times
Tell me 'bout the times baby
Someone leaned over
And whisper softly
I love you in your ear

So many times
So many times
I bet you can't count 'em
Love's the strongest force
On this earth
Hey love is perfect

Why
A tongue can accuse
And carry all sorts of bad news
A lie will deceive you
And then again it's low
But there're three little words
That will always remain true

Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
I love, I love
I love you
I love you

But there're three little words
That will always remain true

Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you - 2x
