These Words by Natasha Bedingfield , Music Video and Lyrics

“These Words” (also known as “These Words (I Love You, I Love You)”) is a pop song written by Natasha Bedingfield, Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton and Wayne Wilkins for Bedingfield’s 2004 debut album Unwritten. The song is the album’s opening track, and was released as its second single. “These Words” details Bedingfield’s lack of inspiration and her reaction to pressure from her record label to produce a hit song.

“These Words” was released as the album’s second international single and as the lead single in North America. The single sold well, reached the top twenty in many countries, and topped the charts in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. It was certified platinum in the United States and Australia, and was nominated for Best British Single at the 2005 BRIT Awards. The song was very well received by music critics, and was frequently cited as a highlight of the album.

Two music videos were produced for the international and North American markets. The song’s international music video was directed by Scott Lyon and Sophie Muller and premiered in August 2004.
The North American music video was directed by Chris Milk and filmed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in March 2005.

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words Lyrics

These words are my own

Threw some chords together
The combination D-E-F
It’s who I am, it’s what I do
And I was gonna lay it down for you
Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration
(But it’s not coming easily)
Whoah oh!

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know?
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you…

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I’m having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn’t find a killer hook
Now you’ve gone & raised the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you!

I’m getting off my stage
The curtains pull away
No hyperbole to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
Whoah.. oh.. oh.. oh.. Whoah.. oh..

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

That’s all I got to say,
Can’t think of a better way,
And that’s all I’ve got to say,
I love you, is that okay?
