Girl I Love You
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
Because I never treated you cruel
I treated you good and you still walked away
But my stubborness still makes me say...keep sayin'
Girl I love ya'....girl I need ya' (by my side)
Girl I want you ( I've been true to you)..but I'm still lonely and blue
(do doop do do).......
At first I thought she was,
and now that you see...now I know she took advantage
of me...without you, sadness wells up inside.
..and makes a shambles of my foolish pride....keep sayin'
Girl I love you...girl I need you.
..girl I love you...(i"ve been true to you)
But I'm still lonely and blue.
...(do doop do do) ohh oh baby...ah baby..ooh baby...
Other people think that our love is wrong.
..i have found the strength to carry on.
..yes I am serious...., though she might be playin.'...
She'll come back if I just keep on sayin'.
....keep on sayin...i keep sayin.
..keep on sayin...i keep sayin'....keep on sayin' ..... I keep say---in.
Girl I love you...girl I need you .
..girl I want you....can't you see that I love you
can't you see that I need you.
..baby baby baby .....ain't too proud to beg baby
Can't you see that I love you...........
Girl I Love You
Hall & Oates' "Girl I Love You" stands as a quintessential example of their mid-1970s power ballad style, blending smooth pop sensibilities with the raw emotional depth characteristic of their early work. The track showcases the duo's signature interplay between Daryl Hall's melodic vocals and John Oates' rhythmic guitar work, creating a sound that defined the soft rock and new wave landscape of the era. While often associated with their later hits, this recording captures the same intimate, romantic atmosphere that became their hallmark, reflecting the era's shift toward more personal songwriting. It remains a staple in their discography, illustrating their ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners through simple yet profound lyrical themes of enduring affection.
