It started way back in third grade

I used to sit beside emmylou hayes

A pink dress a matching

Bow and her ponytail

She kissed me on the school bus

But told me not to tell

Next day I chased her

Around the playground

'Cross 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 want to 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

Not much has 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 want to 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 want to 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
