Chords for Stephanie Poetri "I Love You 3000" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

I was on Instagram, my name on business, and then I did a Q&A on Instagram where I was
like, hey, send me a phrase or a word and I'll make it into a song.
Endgame came out the week before that, so everyone was like, I love you a thousand,
I love you a thousand.
And then when I woke up the next day, a bunch of people were like, dude, this one's fire.
And I was like, okay, okay.
And they were like, can you make it into a real song?
Honestly, writing the song was so funny because I'm saying, I want you to be my husband.
I don't even have a boyfriend.
You know what I mean?
I was just like, sis, chill. _ _
_ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ Basically, I just wanted it to be full on acoustic, maybe a bit of vinyl sounds.
So I just got a friend to help with the guitar.
He's [N] awesome.
His name is Austin.
Shout out.
I had no budget, actually.
It was just me.
So I legit shoot the music video with my phone.
We just walked around Jakarta trying to find fun things to do.
Because I didn't expect anything to come out from it.
I thought it was just going to be a fun little song.
But it blew up and I was like, oh, damn.
I'm like, _ I see you standing there in your Hulk outerwear.
Originally, it was an outerwear.
It was underwear.
Basically, the reference I had was like, you know how guys, they would have boxers or underwear
with _ funky patterns on them, like a graphic.
And it's always kind of quirky.
_ _ Presumably.
I wouldn't know.
Then I changed it to outerwear because I'm trying to be family friendly out here.
I'm not trying to get demonetized.
You guys can relate. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ In Indonesia, you're not really dating anyone until they ask you to be their girlfriend.
You could be dating for three years, but unless they ask you to be their girlfriend or boyfriend,
I don't judge.
You're not really dating.
If we have the perfect moment together, we're out here and _ we're feeling really good with
each other, I think that's when you should ask me out because it's so genuine.
Whereas there's people who plan it for two weeks straight, but then the day before, they
had a fight.
So it wasn't really genuine, but they can't cancel it because all their friends came and
there's music playing.
So yeah, that's kind of what I got from it.
I just want the perfect moment. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, so if my friends knew that my boyfriend was gonna ask me to be _ their wife, I would
not want them to tell me unless it's gonna be bad.
If it's bad, then let me know so I can stop him and be like, you need to check yourself. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The phrase, I love you 3000 was said, I'm not gonna spoil it for you guys in case people
haven't watched, because I heard some people actually haven't watched it, was a phrase
said by someone to their kid.
I think it really resonated with a lot of people.
I didn't know what rhymed with thousand, so I went and searched it up and I found husband.
I was like, okay, that goes well together.
So I can't really relate because I don't have anyone in my life, so if anyone's interested. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If people were to think of a Hollywood movie romance, they'd probably go with the classics,
Notebook and stuff.
But I didn't really grow up on that.
So my love story is Edward and Bella.
If anyone wants to be my vampire, that'd be cool.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
For Endgame, there was this thing like, don't spoil Endgame.
It was a huge deal and everyone kept quiet about what happened.
I won't say it, because you don't know spoilers, please.
But something happened and I thought it fit the song so well.
I wanted to say, don't spoil your plans for me, similar to how people shouldn't spoil
Endgame to others. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ For me specifically, I know when he challenges me in everything because I'm super competitive.
When the guy can handle my competitiveness, because a lot of the times they _ don't want
confrontation, they don't want that kind of drama in their life.
So they're kind of like, okay, let's not go there.
I love, for example, playing badminton with you and that kind of competitiveness.
I need them to be like that and if they can handle that, use a keeper.
But if you can't, then use not a keeper. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And before you could ask, I answer too fast.
What's running through my mind at this point of the song is like, here's my imagination.
Basically, this whole song, I'm saying, don't ruin this for us.
You're making it too obvious.
I don't like that.
Then when it actually happens, I ruined it.
I answered too fast.
So it's my fault.
That's just a reoccurring theme in my life.
So I wanted to put that in.
I think a lot of people can relate.
When you're too in your feelings and you're thinking about this too many times, you [Bb] end
up being the one who ruins it instead of the person you thought was going to ruin it.
_ And all my friends, they tell me they see you're planning to get on one knee.
But now I can't stop thinking about you.
I figured out all the clues.
So now I _ ask.
Just like how the pre-chorus [Em] said, all my friends, they tell me they see, that's like a hint.
Basically, my girls, they're smart, but they don't really have to be because they're so obvious.
All these clues, they're just coming to me.
But mostly because I keep thinking about it.
_ _ _ _ My heart is beating so fast.
_ Three days before you guys emailed me, I literally told my mom and my manager, I have three dreams
in my life.
I said the first one is to get on Genius Verified.
And then I got the email and I cried.
I have a video of me crying, reading your email.
I was like, [N] what?
