Martina McBride – I Love You, is a song written by Keith Follesé, Adrienne Follesé and Tammy Hyler, and recorded by American country music singer Martina McBride. It was released in July 1999 as the first single from her album Emotion. McBride originally recorded «I Love You» for the 1999 film’s soundtrack, Runaway Bride, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The promotion the song got on the soundtrack is one of the reasons for its high chart performance. The single was then released on her then-upcoming album Emotion, and later included on her Greatest Hits compilation album.
Debuted at No. 43 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for the week of July 31, 1999. It subsequently reached No. 1 in late 1999 and remained there for five consecutive weeks until it was knocked off by «When I Said I Do» by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black; it is McBride’s biggest country hit to date. The song also charted at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. «I Love You» is McBride’s highest-charting single on the Hot 100 and was her first entry as a solo artist on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Martina McBride – I Love You Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
The sun is shining everyday
The clouds never get in the way for you and me
I’ve known you just a week or two
But baby I’m so into you
Can hardly breathe
[Chorus 1]
And I’m in so totally wrapped up
Emotionally attracted
So physically acting
So recklessly I need you
So desperately sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
I love you
[Verse 2]
I never knew that I could feel like this
Can hardly wait till our next kiss
You’re so cool
If I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me up
Because baby I can’t get enough
Of what you do
[Chorus 2]
And I’m in so electrically charged up
Kinetically acting
Erratically need you
Fanatically you get to me
Magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
[Bridge]
I, I can’t believe that this is real
The way I feel
Baby, I’m gone head over heels
(Head over heels)
[Chorus 1]
And I’m in so totally wrapped up
Emotionally attracted
So physically acting
So recklessly I need you
So desperately sure as the sky is blue
Yeah
[Chorus 2]
And I’m in so electrically charged up
Kinetically acting
Erratically need you
Fanatically you get to me
Magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
[Outro]
Baby, I love you
Do you love me too
Baby, I love you
GENIUS
