Lyrics
Your precious love
Means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darling, I'm- (I'm so surprised)
Oh, when I first to realized (I realized)
That a-you were fooling me
And darling, they say that our love won't grow
But I just wanna tell them
That they don't know
For as long as you're in love with me
Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea
And of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world
Is just for you to say
That you'll be my girl
And woo-ooh (wanting you)
Wanting you (oh-ooh, I'm lonely and blue)
I'm so-whoa, lonely (that's what love will do)
