I'm Gonna Love That Gal ( Like She's Never Been Loved Before )
Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como
I'm gonna show that gal she's the baby that I adore
When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then, the years between might never have been
We'll start our lives anew!
I'm gonna kiss that gal like she's never been kissed before
And though I miss that gal she's the baby I'm waitin' for
We'll never part again
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before!
