Do I want you by my side
Do I want to run and kiss your lips
Say you're my loving guy, oh oh

(Yes I love you)
Do I need your arms around me
Do I live my life for you
Do I always feel so warm each time
I look in your eyes of blue, oh oh

(Yes I love you)

And would I die if you should ever go away
And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch
Do I love you (do I love you)
Really Love you (really Love you)
Oh I swear I'm gonna get you if takes me all my life
I'll hope and pray and dream and scheme
'Cause I'm gonna be your wife, oh, oh, (oh, oh, oh, oh)
