It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hays
A pink dress a matching bow and a pony tail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
Across the monkey bars to the merry go round
Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote
Chorus
Do you love me do you want to be my friend and if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand if you want to
I think this is how love goes check yes or no
Now were grown up and shes my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Aint much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Up and down the halls around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together and she still gets to me
I can't believe its been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note
Chorus and fade
