IT STARTED WAY BACK
IN THIRD GRADE
I USED TO SIT BESIDE
EMMY LOU HAYES
A PINK DRESS
A MATCHIN' BOW
IN HER PONY TAIL
SHE KISSED ME
ON THE SCHOOL BUS
BUT TOLD ME
NOT TO TELL
NEXT DAY
I CHASED HER 'ROUND
THE PLAYGROUND
'CROSS THE
MONKEY BARS TO
THE MERRY-GO-ROUND
AND EMMY LOU
GOT CAUGHT
PASSIN' ME A NOTE
BEFORE THE
TEACHER TOOK IT
I READ WHAT SHE WROTE
DO YOU LOVE ME
DO YOU WANNA
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 EMMY 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
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 WANNA
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 WANNA
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
CHECK YES OR NO
CHECK YES OR NO
CHECK YES OR NO
