Alton Ellis Lala Means I Love You
Verse 1:
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even know a song to sing
All I know is
Chorus:
La la la la la la la la la means I love you [1: Oh, baby please now 2: Oh... baby]
La la la la la la la la la means I love you
Verse 2:
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold me in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see (you will see)
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
Instrumental break
Partial verse:
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you, yes to you
Listen to me
Coda [repeat to fade]:
La la la la la la la la la means I love you [1: Oh, you'll have to understand 2: Come on and take my hand]
