About The Song
“Me Too” is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Toby Keith. It was released on November 18, 1996 as the third and final single from his album Blue Moon. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Keith wrote the song with Chuck Cannon.
The song is a romantic ballad from the perspective of a man who regularly struggles with saying the phrase “I love you” to his significant other, and instead performs physical tasks as a way of showing his affection to her. The only easy way for him to utter that phrase is by simply telling her “me too” after she says “I love you” to him first, hoping she will understand that means he is in agreement with what she just told him.
This was the last Toby Keith video that Marc Ball directed, who has been directed Toby Keith videos since 1993. It premiered on CMT on January 12, 1997, when CMT named it a “Hot Shot”.
“Me Too” debuted at number 72 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of November 23, 1996.

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
