Do you like me?

Well I hope you do

Cause if you like me

Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too

We'll share our things

And have some fun

Then we'll say goodbye

And go back home when the day is done

If you tell me

I'll tell you too

And we'll say the things

And do the things that lovers do

We'll keep it to ourselves

We won't hurt no one

Then we'll say goodbye

And go back home when the day is done

We'll carve our names

On a tree

Then we'll burn it down

So no one in the world will see

And we'll make love

While we watch the flame

Then we'll walk away

As if we never had no shame

Now we must hide

To be alone

And we can't say

Our sweet things on the telephone

If we can't stop

What we've begun

We should say goodbye

And go back home when the day is done

Do you still like me?

Well I hope you do

Cause if you still like me

Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you

We shared our things

And had some fun

Now we'll say goodbye

And go back home when the day is done

Yeah, we'll say goodbye

And go back home while

We still have one

Let's say goodbye and go back home

Now the day is done
