Well, I sure do love you baby
And I want you to know
If you should ever leave me
Lord, where would I go
Don't you ever ever leave me
Stay right by my side

One night while we were lovin'
Everything was quiet
Well, she put her arms around me
Looked into my eyes
Well, I said now you're my woman
Won't you be my wife?

Well, I sure do love you baby
And I want you to know
If you should ever leave me
Lord, where would I go
Don't you ever ever leave me
Stay right by my side

Well, I said, now we're ready
To see the preacher man
Well, I hope your mother and father
Both can understand
Well, I sure do need you baby
I wanna hold your hand

Well, I sure do love you baby
And I want you to know
If you should ever leave me
Lord, where would I go
Don't you ever ever leave me
Stay right by my side
