Does she love me, with all her heart Should I worry, when we're apart It's a lover's question, I'd like to know. Does she need me, as she pretends Is this a game, well then will I win It's a lover's question, I'd like to know I'd like to know when she's not with me If she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing Does she feel just what I feel, And how am I to know it's really real. Oh, tell me where, the answer lies Is it in her kiss or in her eyes It's a lover's question I'd like to know. I'd like to know when she's not with me If she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing Does she feel just what I feel, And how am I to know it's really real. Oh, tell me where, the answer lies Is it in her kiss or in her eyes It's a lover's question I'd like to know.
