It started way back
in third grade
I used to sit beside
Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress
A matchin' 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 Emmylou 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 Emmylou
Up and down the hall
Around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out
in a limousine
Twenty years together
She still gets to me
I 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
