Description

This hit, from 1983, was the biggest (and maybe only) success of Freez.


The title of the song is IOU. The line of the chorus is very commonly misheared as: "AE-AEIOU-U-and sometimes Y", referring to the vowels (Y sometimes is pronounced as a vowel), but actually what it says is "I sometimes cry".

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry

You tell me that you love me every day
When we're alone I really feel in love
But when you're out with friends I see a change
You treat me bad, I feel like second best

I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
That's how I feel, I want it to be real
I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
I need your touch and I, I owe you so much

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes cry
(Oh) A-E (I really care) A-E-I (I really care) O-U-U
(I really care, care, care) I sometimes lie

Do you realize some things you say
I know you do, it makes me so confused
I'm sure this ain't the way that love should be
Let's get it right, it's much too good to lose

I want your love (I want your love)
Give me your love, girl (give me your love)
That's how I feel but I want it to be real

(I really care, care, care) I sometimes lie

I need your love, I want your love, give me your love (give me your love)
I need your love, I want your love, give me your love

Girl (girl), I know I owe you so much
But I can't pay you
With just, with just one touch
And girl, I know you care
I'll never love another
To that, to that I'll swear

A-E-A-E (I owe you girl) I-O-U-U, I sometimes lie, yeah
A-E-A-E (I owe you girl) I-O-U-U, (owe you girl) I sometimes cry (oh)
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U I sometimes lie
