Hit me band, look at the band
I want to ask them 
Do you love me, yes I love you
Do you love me baby, yes I love you
Do you love me, yes I love you, do you
I just gotta, gotta know 
Look here, I'm not gonna talk all day
But I, I wanted to get the feeling
One more time
Hit me band, listen to that band
I want to ask them
Do you love me, yes I love you
Do you love me baby, yes I love you
Do you love me, yes I love you
I just gotta, gotta know
Hey ain't that a groove
Ain't that a groove let me count
One for the money, two for the show
Ain't that a groove now here we go
Goin'on, and one more thing
I want to say, this is better than cushions
Christmas only comes once a year
And this is all year'round
People can, I'm livin'
Let me out, I'm gone
Yeah I'm going back
