143 Songtext
von Musiq Soulchild

How many times have I called you
While you were working just to say?
Left messages on your answering machine
About 3 or 4 times a day

There aren′t many more ways
And words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically
From my heart to you 143

So many times I bought roses
Just to see that smile on your face
I can′t remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you bout my day

There aren't many more ways
And words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically
From my soul to you 143


Girl you know you are so special to me
And you deserve to be treated exclusively

I treat you like Valentine′s Day 365 a year
Make sure that everything you need will always be right here
Now I just refuse to be your typical ordinary
Run-of-the-mill, Garden Variety lover

I′ll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve
I wanna make you feel fine just like a summer breeze
Cause I just refuse to be your predictable average
Run-of-the-mill, Garden Variety lover

See sometimes words may get in the way
Of the things that you really, really mean to say
So I wanna take out this time to
Make sure that how I really feel gets through to you, yeah

'Cause listen, there aren′t many more ways and words that I can say
So I chose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated ways to say it to you
So I simplified and broke it down in 143


And that means I love you
Sugar, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
