The Stereos I Really Love You Lyrics:
[A] [Rhythmic pounding.]

[B] [Add to [A] above for background:]
Doom, doom-doom-doom, doom-doom-doom, doom-doom-doom,
Doom-doom-doom, doom-doom-doom, doom-doom-doom,
Doom-doom-doom, doom-doom-doom,

[C] [Add to [A] and [B] above for background:]
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da,
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da,
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da,
Da.

[Back to [A] and [B] above for background:]
Yeah, do!
I really, really love you.
Nobody else will do.
That's why I love you,
That's why!
Why! Why!

Yeah, you!
I really, really want you.
Nobody else will do.
That's why I love you,
That's why!
Why! Why!

[D] [Switch background to Dip, dip-did-ip's.]
Well, babe, you know I love you so.
I'd praise the world if you could know.
But when I see you coming down the street,
My heart skips a beat.

[Back to [A] and [B] background.]
You,
I really, really need you.

Oh, but you played me for a fool.
Why do you do me like you do?
Do. Do.

Yeah.
[Add [C] to [A] and [B] for doo wop interlude.]

[D] [Switch background to Dip, dip-did-ip's.]
Well, babe, you know I love you so.
I'd praise the world if you could know.
But when I see you comin' down the street,
My heart skips a beat.

[Back to [A] and [B] for background.]
You.
I really, really need you.
But yet you play me for a fool.
Why do you do me like you do?
Why do you do me like you do?
Why? Why?

[Just [A] to end.]
