[Verse 1]

If I could have your heart, I sure would love ya

I'll love you more than I could love myself

Mountain high or the valley low

You have no idea just how far I'd go, hey-yeah

I'll go put on my good clothes and I'll sing and dance

I'd take the time and I'd take the chance

I'll make you laugh, I'll make you cry

I'ma tell ya like this if you ask me why

[Chorus]

It's all because I love ya, I do

I got to be necessary to you

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see

That your love is necessary to me

It's all because I love ya, I do

I got to be necessary to you

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see

That your love is necessary to me, to me

[Verse 2]

When I sing, you know what I do?

I close my eyes and I think of you

When I wake up, I'd like to see

How much more you've become proud of me

I get excited, my eyes tear

It gives me purpose for being here

I'd walk the desert and I'd swim the sea

As long as when I get there, you're in love with me

[Chorus]

It's all because I love ya, I do (It's all because I love ya)

I got to be necessary to you (Necessary)

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see

That your love is necessary to me (Woo)

It's all because I love ya, I do (It's all)

I got to be necessary to you (Got to be necessary)

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see (Ah, oh, baby)

That your love is necessary to me (Necessary, woo)

[Bridge]

You see, life is so very, very short

Your love is keeping me alive

Say that you love me (Say that you love me)

I pray that you love me (Pray that you love me)

'Cause I know if I could just hear you say it (Hear you say it)

I could make it through the rest of the day (I could make it through the rest of the day)

Say that you love me (Say it, baby, uh-huh)

I pray that you love me (Oh, I do)

[Chorus]

It's all because I love ya, I do (Baby, it's all because I love ya)

I got to be necessary to you (Everything I do is all because of you)

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see (Hey, hey, yeah, ay-yeah)

That your love is necessary to me (Your love means everything to me)

It's all because I love ya, I do

I got to be necessary to you

Hope your eyes are wide open, you'll see

That your love is necessary to me, to me

[Outro]

This be the truest I ever spoke

I feel naked singing every note

And my heart happy, quick, take down this note

This be the truest I ever wrote
