BABY'S GOT A FEVER AND A REAL BAD COUGH.
NEIGHBOR'S TOO NOISY AND IT'S PISSIN ME OFF.
BEFORE I CRIPPLE THAT JOCKEY ON THEIR FRONT LAWN,
YOU TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND THE ANGER'S GONE.
TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND THE ANGER'S GONE.
"I LOVE YOU" IS BRANDED ON MY HEART.

WITHOUT A NET, I JUST HIT THE GROUND.
BILL COLLECTORS FOLLOW ME AROUND.
REPO MAN STAY AWAY FROM THAT TRUCK,
WHERE ME AND MY BABY LEARNED ABOUT LOVE,
WHERE ME AND BABY FIRST MADE LOVE.
"I LOVE YOU" IS BRANDED ON MY HEART.

(bridge)
WHEN MY HEART IS BEATEN UP, IT KEEPS BEATING ON.
EVERY TIME IT BREAKS, YOU FIX IT UP BRAND NEW.
YOU FIND A WAY WHEN THINGS GO WRONG,
I THANK GOD MY HEART FOUND YOU.

(instrumental solo)

(bridge)
HAD A DROUGHT FROM SPRING TO SPRING,
WORK DRIED UP WITH THE MORTGAGE DUE,
IF LUCK RUNS OUT AND WE LOSE EVERYTHING,
I THANK GOD MY HEART FOUND YOU.

MY LAST DOLLAR FELL THROUGH A RIP IN MY JEANS,
MADE BY SOMEBODY OVERSEAS,
LOST MY FAITH, LOST MY DREAMS.
THROUGH IT ALL YOU STAND BY ME,
THROUGH IT ALL YOU STAND BY ME.
"I LOVE YOU" IS BRANDED ON MY HEART.
