Love You I Do
Artistl: Jennifer Hudson
Movie: Dreamgirls (2006 film)
I never met a man
quite like you
Doing all he can
Making my dreams come true
You're strong and you're smart
You've taken my heart
And I'll give you the rest of me too
You're the perfect man for me
I Love you I do
Hmm I love ya
Never ever felt
quite like this
good about myself
from our very first kiss
I'm here when you call
you've got it all
and confidence like I never knew
You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do
You've got the charm
you simply disarm me every time
As long as you drive
I'm along for the ride your way
You said it before
There won't be a door
that's closed to us
putting all my trust in you
cuz you, you'll always be true
I never could have known
This would be
Ohhh you and you alone yeah
All for me
I know you're the best
You've passed every test
It's almost too good to be true
You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do
You're the perfect man for me
I love you I do
do
Love You I Do

Song information
"Love You I Do" is soul song inspired by the early 1960s work of female singers such as Aretha Franklin and Mary Wells.
In the context of the film, the song is performed in a scene set in 1963 by soul singer Effie White (Hudson), and expresses Effie's romantic feelings for her boyfriend and record label head, Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx).
