La La
Means I Love You is the 1968 debut album by American R&B/Soul vocal group The
Delfonics, released on May 14, 1968 on the Philly
Groove label. The album was produced by Thom Bell and consists of a mixture of original songs written by Bell and lead
singer William Hart, and cover versions of already well-known songs.
The
celebrated title track was a #4 pop hit, and
"I'm Sorry" and "Break Your Promise" also charted. With its
lush, smooth orchestral sound and production, La La Means I Love You is now
considered a classic soul album and one of the most important and influential
records in the development of the nascent Philadelphia soul sound which would come to dominate the commercial soul music market
in the early and mid–1970s
[Verse 1:]
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is
[Chorus:]
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[1:] Oh, baby please now
[2:] Oh... baby
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[Verse 2:]
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold me in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see (you will see)
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
Instrumental break
[Partial verse:]
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you, yes to you
Listen to me
Coda [repeat to fade:]
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[1:] Oh, you'll have to understand
[2:] Come on and take my hand
