Why can't we get to - geth - er like oth - ers do

Why don't I ev - er hear you say " I Love You "

You ne - ver do things to show it, so how am I to know ?

You can't ex - pext me to know it, un - less you tell me so

Ev' - ry one says I love you the cop on the cor - ner, and the bur - glar too

The preach - er in the pul - pit, and the man in the pew says " I Love You "

Ev' - ry one says no mat - ter who the folks ov-ver eight- y and the kid of two

the cap - tain and the sail - or and the rest of the screw says " I Love You "

There are on - ly eight lit - tle let - ters in this phrase , you'll find

But they mean a lot more than all the o-ther words com - bined

ev - 'ry where the whole world through the king in the pal - ace and the pea - sant, too

The ti - ger in the jun - gle and the monk in the zoo, says " I Love You "
