Words can be tricky, especially when you're looking for a way to say, "I love you." How do you come up with the right thing to say to your pookie head on Valentine's Day, date night, or a special anniversary? Luckily, those three little words have inspired some of the greatest love song lyrics of all time, because singers and musicians have a certain way of capturing just exactly how we feel.

This list is comprised of lyrics from everyone's favorite love songs. "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney is often hailed as one of the most iconic lyrics of all time: "Baby, I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time." Elton John's ballad "Your Song" is another one that most people are familiar with: "I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world." There are also plenty of quotes about love included that are perfect to send as a Valentine's Day wish or even an anniversary message! This one from Stevie Wonder is the perfect example: "I feel like this is the beginning though I've loved you for a million years." Any one of these lyrics would make the perfect sign-off to a handwritten love letter, but they also double as a Valentine's Day caption on Instagram. Read through these lyrics and prepare to swoon.
