It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress
A 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 Emmylou got caught
Passing 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 were grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids
With stars in our eyes
Aint 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 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
