Check Yes Or No

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.

Chorus:

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 emmylou.

Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room.

Last night I took her out in a white limousine

Twenty years later, she still gets to me

Can't believe it's been that long ago.

When we got started with just a little note.

Repeat chorus
