A New Way

You told me yesterday that my love is not sufficient
Cause I didn't say those words you want enough
I swore up and down it's not the phrase that proves my deep commitment
But you simply left and said, "I call your bluff"













Now, I'm romantic and creative, I think this is understood
And I don't give up too easy when I can't succeed
And often times my scheming mind will lead me to no good
But for this task it's exactly what I need

(Chorus)
I'll find a new way to say that I love you
I get tired of repeating the same old line
So I'll tell you through my action
I'll be adding by subtraction
And the things I do are sure to make you mine

I followed you and stole your car when you were at the store
And filled it full of chocolates hood to tail
I parked it so you'd see the moment you walked out the door
Before the candy melted and I ended up in jail

I write you poems and leave you notes in lip stick on the glass
And I clean the house before you get home from work
And I've lately found that leaving the room on days that I have gas
Has made you think me far less of a jerk

Yes, it's a new way to say that I love you
I get tired of repeating the same old line
So I'll tell you through my action
I'll be adding by subtraction
And the things I do are sure to make you mine

I tape your favorite shows when you're not at home to see them
And I make you music mixes for your daily commute
I've stopped complaining when you make me have dinner with your folks
And sometimes I even give you the remote

I've been taking the time to work out and be healthy
Cause I know you like me svelt instead of stout
And I've even started saving cash though I know I'll never be wealthy
But it'll help me get that ring that I've picked out

Yes, it's a new way to say that I love you
I get tired of repeating the same old line
So I'll tell you through my action
I'll be adding by subtraction
And the things I do are sure to keep you mine
