Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
It started way back in third gradeI used to sit beside Emmylou HayesA pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytailShe kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tellNext day I chased her ’round the playground‘Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-roundAnd Emmylou got caught passing me a noteBefore the teacher took it I read what she wrote
“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?And if you doWell then don’t be afraid to take me by the handIf you want toI think this is how love goesCheck yes or no”
Now we’re grown up and she’s my wifeStill like two kids with stars in our eyesAin’t much changed, I still chase EmmylouUp and down the hall, around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousineTwenty years together she still gets to meCan’t believe it’s been that long agoWhen we got started with just a little note
“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?And if you doWell then don’t be afraid to take me by the handIf you want toI think this is how love goesCheck yes or no”
“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?And if you doWell then don’t be afraid to take me by the handIf you want toI think this is how love goesCheck yes or no”
Check yes or noCheck yes or noCheck yes or noCheck yes or no
