It started way back in eight grade

I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes

A pink dress, matching shoes, and a pony tail

She kissed me on the school bus and told me not to tell.



(same progression)



Next day I chased her around the playground

Across the monkey bars to the merry go round

and Emmie Lou got caught passing a note

Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote:



(chorus)

Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend?

and if you do.

Then don't be afraid to take me by the hand

if you want to.

I think this is how love goes...check yes or no.



Then play intro



Now we're grown up and she's my wife

Still like two kids with stars in our eyes

Ain't much changed I still chase Emmie Lou

Up and down the hall,and the bed in our room.



Last night I took her out in a white limousine

Twenty years togethor and she still gets to me

can't believe it's been that long ago

when we got started with just a little note.
