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
