It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes
A pink dress, matching bow, and her pony tail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell.
Next day I chased her `round the playground
Across the monkey bars to the merry go round
and Emmie Lou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote:
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 we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmie Lou
Up and down the hall, 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
can't believe it's been that long ago
when we got started with just a little note.
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.
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.
Check yes or no
