143 - Musiq Soulchild

How many times have I called you

While you were working just to say

Left messages on your answering machine

About three or four times a day

There aren’t many more ways in words that I can say

So I’ll just say numerically from my heart to you — 143

So many times I’ve brought roses

Just to see that smile on your face

I can’t remember how many e-mails I sent you

Just to tell you about my day

There aren’t many more ways in 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 Valentines Day 365 a year

Make sure that everything you need will always be right here

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 refuse to be predictable average run of the mill

Garden variety love

See sometimes words may get in the way

Of things that you really really meant to say

So I wanna out this time to make sure that how I really feel

Gets through to you

Cause listen

There aren’t many more ways and words that I can say

So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way'

Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way

To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down

To 143 — and that means I love you
