How Much I Love You
by: No MercyYeah baby
Girl I love you
Girl, I'm so sorry
I never told you as much as I could have
I never listened to what you were saying
What you were feeling
All of your hurt, girl, I wished I could see
I was too busy just thinking of me
Now is there a way, I can make you stay
On my knees begging you, please
That's how much I love you
I'm willing to do anything
Whatever it takes, I'll be there for you, baby
Forgive me, and let me show you
That's how much I love you
I swear that I'll do everything
I'll give you my all, my heart and soul
I'll do more than try, don't say goodbye
All of those nights, girl
We were together, you were alone
I was so blind babe
To see your tears thinking nothing was wrong
All of your hurt, girl, I wished I could see
I was too busy just thinking of me
Now is there a way, I can make you stay
On my knees begging you, please
That's how much I love you
I'm willing to do anything
Whatever it takes, I'll be there for you, baby
Forgive me, and let me show you
That's how much I love you
I swear that I'll do everything
I'll give you my all, my heart and soul
I'll do more than try, don't say goodbye
You are the best thing that's happened to me
It had to take this to make me see, baby
You're the one thing that I know I've done right
And I can't let you walk out of my life
All that I wanted was just to love you
And, baby, I swear now I'll know what to do
Baby please hear me, won't you please stay
Giveme a chance, don't walk away
That's how much I love you
I'm willing to do anything
Whatever it takes, I'll be there for you, baby
Forgive me, and let me show you
That's how much I love you
I swear that I'll do everything
I'll give you my all, my heart and soul
I'll do more than try, don't say goodbye
That's how much I love you
