I Love You

About I Love You

"The Way That I Love You" is a song recorded by American singer Ashanti from her fourth studio album, The Declaration (2008). It was released as the album's lead single on February 26, 2008, through Universal and The Inc. Ashanti wrote and produced the song with L. T. Hutton. Backed by piano, guitar, and horns, "The Way That I Love You" is a midtempo R&B ballad whose lyrics tell of betrayal. Critical response was primarily positive; some reviewers said it was a highlight from The Declaration while others felt it was inferior to music released by Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige. Commercially, the song peaked at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and appeared on the publication's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Adult R&B Songs component charts. Ashanti performed "The Way That I Love You" at Sessions@AOL and on tour. Kevin Bray directed the music video which tells the story of Ashanti and her boyfriend—he cheats on her, she discovers it, and she murders him. The story for the video was inspired by the true crime TV shows Snapped and Forensic Files. The video's emphasis on violence attracted critical attention. As part of the song's promotion, Ashanti launched a website that allowed users to create and send a personalized news report and death threat to a contact. The campaign was received negatively and incited a protest in Los Angeles. The website was ultimately taken down. more »

I love you
I love you 
I love you 
I love you 

[Chorus]
I love you 
'cause you mean everything to me and I 
I love you 
I thank you for just being in my life 
I love you 
I love the way you can always make me smile 
I love you 
And wherever I go you're always in my heart 

Nobody ever bring the joy you bring to me 
You make me feel the way you do 
And there ain't nothing like your love 
That sometimes makes you stop and think like 
Do I deserve such a love that can now move heaven and earth 
For my lovin' I could never surround my life without the things 
That you provide ever since you came into my life 
And it feels like my whole world is happening 
I can't stress how much I've been blessed 
See what you came and done to me 
You make my life complete 
I know sometimes I might forget 
That even when I don't say it 
You know that I mean it I 

[Chorus]

See I don't minding wake up everyday and see your face 
And wanting to lay inside your arms 
Cause there ain't nothing like your touch 
It's so good never seems like enough 
I didn't know that a love could grow and take over your soul 
Don't advise much more 
Only when you're apart if feels like living life is hard 
Your entire world just seems so dark 
Then it lights up 'cause you are my shining star 
And I don't know what I'd do without you 
See what you came and done to me 
You make my life complete 
I know sometimes I might forget 
But even when I don't say it 
You know that I mean it I 

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
When you love somebody 
You can share everything 
Because you understand that you'll be right there 
Anytime, any place, anywhere 
When you love somebody 
You can be only me 
If they cry you'll be right by their side 
To make everything alright 

[Chorus]

I love you
I love you
I love you

[Chorus]

In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Foolish", and "What's Luv?" (with Fat Joe).
