It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou 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
'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
