And for me you will be do or die
Oh, baby let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile,

Hope for me and for you If you know what I mean
I'm gonna sock it to you

Ev'ry time, time, time, time, time

You and me, me and you
There is love in your eyes When you smile
Oh, baby let me love you

When you smile I can see you were born, born for me
And for me you will be do or die
Oh, baby let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
La la la, la la la, ...
