about

In December of 2011 The Dick & Jane Project collaborated with After School All Stars at Champion and Southmoor Middle Schools. After a last minute cancellation, Ben recruited folk musician Johnny Newman to be a part of the workshop, though both were unsure how his guitar and harmonica would resonate with the youth- used to tough hip hop verses about life on the streets. Once Ben played one of Johnny’s songs, however, the students were immediately captivated. Alanna, one of the lyricists for I Love You, commented “This type of music…you can really hear the lyrics”. She and three friends selected Johnny to work with, agreed to write about love, and got right to work.

lyrics

You see me and I see you
You just got to know that I love you
You will be with me
For the rest of your life
And I promise I will be there day and night no matter what happens

Cause you need to know that I love you
I want you to love me like I do
Cause you need to know that I love you

I love the way you bring happiness down upon the earth
Every time I look at you I feel so happy inside
You say that you are the one for me but you know you’ve got to prove it

Cause you need to know that I love you
I want you to love me like I do
Cause you need to know that I love you

Every time you talk to me all I hear is I love you
Now people say you are the one for me cause you are like a star
Now I wish upon this star the star not so far

Cause you need to know that I love you
I want you to love me like I do
Cause you need to know that I love you

Now I wish I could have my true love
People say that she will come
But til’ the last day
I’m still waiting
