Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Smile like the sun

Back over time

Crazy on you

Pleasure is mine

[Chorus]

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

[Instrumental]

You're comin' through

Even it up

Goin' too far

Try to understand

[Chorus]

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

[Instrumental]

Whisper that kisses your ear

I'll tell you what I fear

Whisper that kisses your ear

I'll tell you what I fear

[Instrumental]

Come on home

Just ain't fair

In the name of rock and roll

Where love dies

Couldn't find a soul

Tell it like it is

Deep down inside

Drunken butterfly

[Chorus]

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
