Darling this is my desire, set your little old heart on fire
Do the things that lovers always do
So put your little hand in mine I buy you diamond ring so fine
Then I'll build a bungalow for two

Well there ain't no use to stay so far away
So darling turn on all your charms while I hold you in my arms

And know that you were meant for me to love
