I Really Love You Babe

(I really love you babe)
I jumped in the car gonna carry you to the stars
So lets go see the ship
And your hip, bronzed lipped
I really love you babe
Oh flat black, pink, grey
Heart stop, heart drop
Nothing couldn't stop it
It's the magic in the valley
Of the frozen rain
Oh, oh (I really love you babe)
Oh frost bound poetry
Gleaming like a satellite
Green glade diamond bright
Now's the time to live
Come live with me Ooh**
Spiked heart, lost love
Treat you girl, love you then
Time's gone, word's wrong
Until my angel comes
Umm, yes
Ooh ooh ooh (I really love you babe)
I really love you babe
*Repeat
Just really love you babe
**Repeat
Ooh ooh ooh (I really love you babe)
Ooh ooh ooh
