Musiq Soulchild - 143 Lyrics

Stevie Wonder inspired

2020 still here

2020 and still a hit

Love this song still

S-Y-M-P-H-O-N-YYYYYYYY!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Listening in 2020!!!!

143💕

How many times have I called you 
While you were working just to say
Left messages on your answering machine
About three or four times a day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my heart to you - 143

So many times I've brought roses
Just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you about my day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my soul to you - 143

Girl you know you are so special to me
And you deserve to be treated exclusively
I treat you like Valentines Day 365 a year
Make sure that everything you need will always be right here
I just refuse to be your typical ordinary run of the mill
Garden variety lover
I'll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve
I want to make you feel fine
Just like a summer breeze
Cause I refuse to be predictable average run of the mill
Garden variety love
See sometimes words may get in the way 
Of things that you really really meant to say
So I want to out this time to make sure that how I really feel
Gets through to you
Cause listen 
There aren't many more ways and words that I can say 
So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way'
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way
To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down 
To 143 - and that means I love you

How many times have I called you
While you were working, just to say
Left messages on your answer machine
About 3 or 4 times a day

[Hook]
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So i'll just say numerically
From my heart to you - one-four-three

[Verse 2]
So many times I've bought roses
Just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you 'bout my day

[Hook]
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So i'll just say numerically
From my heart to you - one-four-three

[Bridge]
Girl you know you are so special to me
And you deserve to be treated exclusively

Verse 3]
I treat you like Valentines Day 365 a year
Make sure that everything you need will always be right here
Now I just refuse to be your typical ordinary run of the mill
Garden variety lover
(ooh oh oh)

[Verse 4]
I'll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve
I wanna make you feel fine just like a summer breeze
Cause I refuse to be your predictable average run of the mill
Garden variety love

[Verse 5]
See sometimes words may get in the way
Of things that you really really meant to say
So I wanna take out this time to
Make sure that how I really feel gets through to you
Cause listen
There aren't many more ways and words that I can say
So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way
To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down
To one-four-three - and that means I love you
Sugar you know yeah yeah yeah yeah

Musik souldchild did it first FUK the rest!.

I especially love this song because it's clearly Stevie Wonder inspired. ❤

Yes, that's what I love about it!

Will you marry me😀💖😁

The way this song ends with Musiq singing falsetto and fading out is so romantic . It breaks your heart.

Is very amazing ♥️

Still listening in "2019" Great album
Brooklyn is here

His songs are so relevant to my emotions!! Do artists, real artists, know how much they impact on people with their music?!

That was my shit....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. That’s was the era early 2000s.

Lyrically? On POINT! Musically? 🔥My wife introduced me to this single. She has a good ear and a beautiful soul!

R.I.P. Mr Rogers

heard this song at 12 years old. Now it becomes my favorite jam!

143 💜💋💞 everytime i hear this it takes me to a vulnerable place of hoping to receive that intimate unconditional love like no other.

Never gets old ❤️

My ex and I used to say this to each other out in public, not too many people knew what it meant. I got this as a tattoo behind my ear with hearts and stars.

This CD was classic. One of my favorite songs on the CD.

Wooow...this just took me back to over 15 years ago! Aijuswanasing (spelling) was one of my fave CDs to play back then. I could listen to that singing and them lyrics all day.

Wow, you can tell this is an inspiration for Flower Boy. The chords and the vocals especially.

shit is harmony

2:00 to 3:15 that whole stretch..😌🙌

Without a doubt my favorite of his tracks n quite possibly my favorite track ever. I was honestly shocked n even laughed a bit when I saw just 69k views (ive definitely listened to it more than 69k times) kinda made me like it that much more. 'sometimes words may get in the way of what you really really wanna say'.

wow. this so similar to Glitter (by Tyler, The Creator). I swear those are the same chords

This game out in the 2000..

This album literally has so many hits

So many oh my God 😍😍😍

Isn't his albums the Mess??!! He real good.

Sure does

❤❤❤

Highschool memories sighs......

Love you brother, met you one day, your biggest fan was standing right next to you and you didn't even know it. 2005 Liacouras Center backstage, a lady asked you for an autograph. You didn't have pen. I was the guy that said "I have one" and handed it to you lol I should have said more to you, but I had a meeting with Mr Damon Dash... never did get that pen back either lol, but for real, #fanfromdayone❤

Been his family since 7th grade and I'm 29 now! ❤
