(Thom Bell - William Hart)    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 have 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]
