Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know She is my baby and she lives next door Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up She brings me coffee in my favorite cup That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so When I'm in trouble and I have no friend I know she'll go with me until the end Everybody asks me how I know I smile at them and say, "She told me so" That's why I know, oh, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so Now, if I call her on the telephone And tell her that I'm all alone By the time I count from one to four I hear her [KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK] on my door In the evening when the sun goes down When there is nobody else around She kisses me and she holds me tight And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right" That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so Now, if I call her on the telephone And tell her that I'm all alone By the time I count from one to four I hear her [KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK] on my door In the evening when the sun goes down When there is nobody else around She kisses me and she holds me tight And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right" That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love her so Oh, hallelujah Don't you know, I just love her so She's my little woman, waitin' all this time Babe, I'm a little fool for you, little girl...
