Toby Keith – Me Too, is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Toby Keith. It was released on November 18, 1996 as the third and final single from his album Blue Moon. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Keith wrote the song with Chuck Cannon.
The song is a romantic ballad from the perspective of a man who regularly struggles with saying the phrase “I love you” to his significant other, and instead performs physical tasks as a way of showing his affection to her. The only easy way for him to utter that phrase is by simply telling her “me too” after she says “I love you” to him first, hoping she will understand that means he is in agreement with what she just told him.
This was the last Toby Keith video that Marc Ball directed, who has been directed Toby Keith videos since 1993. It premiered on CMT on January 12, 1997, when CMT named it a “Hot Shot”. This is the first video in which Toby does not wear a cowboy hat, rather a full head of hair.

Toby Keith – Me Too lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I send you roses for no reason at all
If out of the blue, I stop and give you a call
Once in a while, it is breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads
[Verse 2]
If I call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why I do what I do
It is my way of saying what I cannot express
But I want you to know girl I am doing my best
[Chorus]
Oh I am just a man that is the way I was made
I am not too good at saying what you need me to say
It is always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid but it would not go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say, me too
[Verse 3]
If you should wake up and catch me watching you sleep
And I break the silence by kissing your cheek
If I whisper something you do not understand
Do not make me repeat it, I do not know if I can
[Chorus]
Oh I am just a man that is the way I was made
I am not too good at saying what you need me to say
It is always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid but it would not go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say, me too
[Outro]
Me too, me too, hope you know what I mean when I say
Me too, me too
GENIUS
