Mandalynn Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 OK guys...quiz time. I looked all over and can not find the title to the following. The song itself is at least 23 years old, if not older. The singer, a male, sounds like Elvis...may even be Elvis, I don't know. The tune itself is enough to drive anyone crazy (as I am going nuts right now). Again, the singer is a male, kinda the crooner type. However it is not Frank Sinatra, not Stevie Wonder and I can't seem to make any lyrical connection with Elvis, but I seem to think it may have been him. The lyrics are: I love you. I love you. I love you. Please tell me, please tell me you love me too. I love you. I love you. I love you. That's all I can remember, other than that I think it was on the b-side of a 45 (an old record for you young'uns out there). Anyone know the name or artist? (Think it's probably "I love you. I love you. I love you.") I must admit, it is a bit annoying of a song (kind of a earworm). Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 We can rule out Elvis if it was recoreded 23 years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Does he ever sing the line, "I want you, I need you, I love you"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 If its not 'Special Brew' by Bad Manners, it is worth a listen anyhow. The singer dances like Marc's old avatar as an extra bonus. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalynn Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Does he ever sing the line, "I want you, I need you, I love you"? OK...I have no other lyrics (including those listed above?) , because these are the only ones repeating in my head. As for the song, it's at least 23 years old...if not older. And, it's not Bad Manners...I still think it may be Elvis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Well Mandy, I'm convinced that the song you refer to is Elvis' I Want You, I Need You, I Love You Here are the lyrics. Hold me close, hold me tight Make me thrill with delight Let me know where I stand from the start I want you, I need you, I love you With all my heart Ev?ry time that you?re near All my cares disappear Darling, you?re all that I?m living for I want you, I need you, I love you More and more I thought I could live without romance Until you came to me But now I know that I will go on loving you eternally Won?t you please be my own? Never leave me alone ?cause I die ev?ry time we?re apart I want you, I need you, I love you With all my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalynn Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Sorry UncleJoe, I went to iTunes, downloaded and listened, thinking maybe I had the lyrics wrong...but the whole tune is off. The one I have in my head is less Buddy Hollyish than the "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" and actually has a faster tempo and deeper (baritone) vocal. The tune itself goes up in scale and then returns to the middle of the scale before resolving itself at the end of the phrase...if that helps? This is driving me mad, I tell ya! I do have to say though, that I wish I had known the "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" when I was back in college. There was a group of us girlfriends that decided that we were all "Player Haters" and we'd watch out for each other. If one of us thought another was being put on by some dumb boy, we'd walk past and say, "But baby, I want you. I love you. I need you." (A different order, but same meaning.) This was our cue to get out and away from whoever was hittin' on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
