Content
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.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that it is a song that a lot of men will relate to. She goes on to say that Keith "turns in a smooth believable performance."[1]
