Lyrics

You are the (G)one, girl,

and you know that it’s true.

I’m feel ing (G)young er

ev ’ry time that I’m a lone with (G)you.

We were sit ting in a parked car.

steal ing kiss es in the front yard.

We’ve got ques tions we should not (D)ask,

but how would you feel

if I told you I loved you?

It’s just some thing that I want to do.

I’ll be tak ing my time,

spend ing my life

fall ing deep er in love with you.

So tell me that you love me too.

You are the (G)one, girl,

and you know that it’s true.

I’m feel ing (G)young er

ev ’ry time that I’m a lone with (G)you.

We were sit ting in a parked car.

steal ing kiss es in the front yard.

We’ve got ques tions we should not (D)ask,

but how would you feel

if I told you I loved you?

It’s just some thing that I want to do.

I’ll be tak ing my time,

spend ing my life

fall ing deep er in love with you.

So tell me that you love me too.

So tell me that you love me too.

So tell me that you love me too.
