About the song
Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words when it comes to expressing your deepest feelings? If so, you’re not alone. Country music superstar Toby Keith tapped into this universal experience with his heartfelt ballad, “Me Too.” Released in 1996 as part of his album Blue Moon, this song quickly climbed the charts and became a fan favorite, thanks in part to its relatable lyrics and Keith’s soulful vocals.
“Me Too” paints a vivid picture of a man deeply in love but struggling to articulate his emotions. Instead of grand romantic gestures or flowery language, he shows his affection through simple, everyday actions. The song’s narrator admits, “I’m not too good at saying what you need me to say.” This honest vulnerability resonates with listeners who have ever felt awkward or inadequate when trying to express their love.
The heart of the song lies in its chorus: “When those three little words come so easy to you/ Say me too, me too, me too.” By echoing his partner’s declaration of love, the narrator finds a way to convey his own feelings without directly saying “I love you.” This subtle yet powerful approach has made “Me too” an anthem for those who prefer to show their love rather than simply say it.
The music video, directed by Marc Ball, complements the song’s heartfelt message. It features a series of tender moments between Keith and his love interest, emphasizing the quiet, everyday ways that love can be expressed. The video’s nostalgic feel adds to the song’s timeless appeal.
Critical reception of “Me Too” was overwhelmingly positive. Billboard magazine’s Deborah Evans Price praised Keith’s “smooth, believable performance” and noted that the song would resonate with many men.
In conclusion, “Me Too” is more than just a country song; it’s a timeless exploration of love, communication, and the challenges of expressing our deepest emotions. Through its simple yet profound lyrics and Keith’s heartfelt delivery, this song has touched the hearts of millions and continues to be a beloved classic.

Lyrics
If I send you roses for no reason at all
If out of the blue, I stop and give you a call
Once in a while, it’s breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our head
If I call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know I do what I do
It’s my way of saying what I can’t express
But I want you to know, girl, I’m doing my best
Ooh, I’m just a man, that’s the way I was made
I’m not too good at saying what you need me to say
It’s always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid, but it won’t go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say
Me too
If you should wake up and catch me watching you sleep
And I break the silence by kissing your cheek
If I whisper something you don’t understand
Don’t make me repeat it, I don’t know if I can
Ooh, I’m just a man, that’s the way I was made
I’m not too good at saying what you need me to say
It’s always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid, but it won’t go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say
Me too
Me too, me too
Hope you know what I mean when I say
Me too
Me too
