It's not a bouquet of roses that greets you at the door
It's not an ensemble waiting for you from one of your favorite stores
it's not four couples dining, sharing a lazy sue
It's very simply, simple only, a simple I love you
It's not a madcap scheme, that takes you overnight
It's not a mani-pedi or massage that feels just right
It's not two ticket stubs from date night number two
It's very simply, simply only, a simple I love you

I didn't make the bed today, forgot to call the sitter
The lunches aren't made, the bills--unpaid, because of you my thoughts waylaid
I'm trying to say my love for you will never fade
It's not a homecooked meal, our kids with homemade cards
It's not a banner with balloons waving in our front yard
It's not a custom diamond ring, in a Nutella stew
It's very simply, simple only, a simple I love you
