Introduction

There’s a certain sweetness in country music when a tough cowboy lets his guard down. Toby Keith did just that with “Me Too,” a ballad that shows the softer side of the man who was usually known for his swagger and humor.

Released in 1997, the song quickly became a fan favorite, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. But numbers only tell part of the story. What made “Me Too” special was how relatable it felt. It’s about a man who doesn’t always find the words to say “I love you,” but finds other ways to show it — through actions, gestures, and that quiet, steady presence. And when the woman he loves needs to hear it out loud, he finally admits, “Me too.”

If you think about it, that’s real life for so many people. Love isn’t always loud or poetic — sometimes it’s found in the unspoken moments, like fixing a leaky faucet, sitting through a hard day, or simply being there when it matters most. Toby’s warm, easygoing voice carried that message with honesty, making listeners feel like he was singing their own story back to them.

Looking back, “Me Too” stands as one of Toby’s most heartfelt songs, proving that behind the larger-than-life personality was a man who understood the simple truth: love doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be real.

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
