I.O.U Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Since the beginning, your love was always given
And just like my favorite wine
It gets better after time, oh yeah
Baby I want this forever, never end
I promise that I won't stop lovin
You give me a reason to live right
Won’t find nothing better in this life
And everytime I needed you
You always knew the right thing to do, oh yeah
I’ll owe you forever
I’ll owe you forever

[Chorus]
For all the love you give to me
How could I ever repay
I owe you, I owe you, I owe you
For everything you've done for me
How could I ever repay
I owe you, I owe you
I owe you


Honey dipped kisses, you grant all my wishes
You rescued me in the nick of time
You saved my life Whoa OOOOOOO
Baby ain’t nobody else in my vision
Only loving you is my mission
You give me a reason to live right
Won’t find nothing better in this life
And when the rain was pouring down
You came and cleared my gray clouds
Oooooh Yeah
I’ll owe you forever
I’ll owe you forever

[Chorus]

I’m forever indebted
Couldn’t have done it without your help
I love you and don’t you forget it
Maybe even more than I love myself
Baby for everything we’ve been through
There’s nothing that I just won’t do
Cause I owe, I owe you

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Want to tell your special someone how much you care, but aren’t so good with words? Simply queue up Luke James’ latest single and let the New Orleans crooner do the talking for you. On I.O.U, the Strawberry Vapors singer reflects on the many ways in which his girl has enriched his life. With the amount of happiness that she’s brought him, it would take an eternity to settle the score. As he makes clear over The Runners’ coruscating keyboards and fluid bassline, though, he’d like nothing more than to spend the rest of his days working down that debt.
