Well, I asked my mom and daddy why they loved each other
[The customary thing]
I got a wink from daddy and a grin from mother
[The customary thing]
I wanna be like dad, I wanna feel the same
[The customary thing]
Oh that's why I love that baby so
[The customary thing]
Yeah, that's why I hated to let her go
[The customary thing]
You know one of these days I'm gonna buy her a ring
[The customary thing]
[The customary thing]
That's why whenever we say goodnight
[The customary thing]
You know we kiss and we kiss and we squeeze so tight
[The customary thing]
I-I-I love her, she feels the same
[The customary thing]
I love her, oh she's so fine, oh yeah she's all mine
[The customary thing]
Come on, come on now baby, just a little bit more…
