So if you really love me
Come on and let it show,
oh yeah

You know I love you, I always will,

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed.
I cannot get to thinking
Of all the things you said,
Ah, yes, I do.
You give your promise to me
And I give mine to you.
I need someone beside me
In everything I do.
Oh, yes, I do.

Got to keep it moving, yeah,
