Verse:

Three words in my dic -tion -a -ry

I nev -er could see,

But to my vo -cab -u -la -ry

I've add -ed those three.

I'm wait -ing for some -one

To say them to me.

 

Chorus:

Three lit -tle words, Oh! what I'd give for

That won -der -ful phrase. To hear those

Three lit -tle words, That's all I'd live for

The rest of my days, And what I

Feel in my heart they tell sin -cere -ly,

No oth -er words can tell it half, so clear -ly,

Three lit -tle words, eight lit -tle let -ters

Which sim -ply mean, "I love you!"
