Quote I Love You Unquote

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Correct procedure at a wedding Is for you to say 'I do' – but you don't And if you asked me to marry you You know I'd say 'I will' – so you won't [Pre-Chorus 1] I know you're not too keen on such conventional expressions But if you could string three words along You could make the perfect sentence [Chorus] Quote 'I love you' unquote (Three little words you never wrote) Quote 'I love you' unquote (Words so small shouldn't stick in your throat) Conspicuously absent from your note Quote 'I love you' unquote But quote 'best wishes' unquote Full stop, close brackets – that's all you wrote [Verse 2] Tradition at a smart occasion Is to beg me for a dance – but not you I've grown accustomed to attention But you don't spare a glance – you look through [Pre-Chorus 2] I know you find the subject unfit for conversation But if you join three syllables You could make the perfect statement [Chorus] Quote 'I love you' unquote (Three little words you never wrote) Quote 'I love you' unquote (Words so small shouldn't stick in your throat) Conspicuously absent from your note Quote 'I love you' unquote But quote 'best wishes' unquote Full stop, close brackets – that's all you wrote [Verse 3] Correct procedure on the phone Is to beg me be your own – but you don't And if you asked me to marry you You know I'd say 'I will' – so you won't [Pre-Chorus 3] I know my constant overtures may seem a touch obsessive But if you can type eight characters You can make the perfect message [Chorus] Quote 'I love you' unquote (Three little words you never wrote) Quote 'I love you' unquote (Words so small shouldn't stick in your throat) Conspicuously absent from your note Quote 'I love you' unquote But quote 'best wishes' unquote Full stop, close brackets – that's all you wrote [Outro] Quote 'best wishes' unquote Quote 'best wishes' unquote That's all you wrote That's all you wrote That's all you wrote That's all you wrote
