The 'I Love You' Heart

The “I Love You” Heart
Written by Dale Kidd & Aaron Nathans

A box of little candy hearts
On a February day
Kids in school can be so cruel
And the boys all run away
Be mine, cutie pie
He makes her small heart spin
First love, he’s 10 years old
And yet, she knows it’s him

But she never got the I Love You heart
Be true, too sassy, don’t start
Puppy love can be so hard
She never got the I Love You heart

Out of school, big corporate job
She thinks the city’s cool
Tough cookie, heart throb
Nobody’s fool
Try me, First kiss
A cold breeze off the bay
She’s 23, and she’s sure it’s him
And it’s Valentine’s Day

But she doesn’t get the I Love You heart
Get real, just friends, be cool, don’t start
Tiny words tear them apart
She doesn’t get the I Love You heart

Red Dye #3, sugar, starch
Tiny words to break your heart
Natural flavors, Yellow 5
Tiny bites to make you cry

New guy across the room
Bad jokes
It’s his first day
She tries not to notice him
But he won’t go away
Out to dinner on a lark
She knows it can’t be him
A goofy smile and a box of hearts
She frowns and reaches in

And she pulls out the I Love You heart
What, him? Oh my. But then she feels the spark
It’s true, you’re mine, oh boy, let’s start
She finally got the I Love You heart
Yeah she finally got the I love you heart
You grow you spin you play the part
It’s true you’re mine o’boy lets start
And she finally got the I love you
The I love you heart
