Lyrics

Na-na-na, na-na-na
A gentle touch upon my face
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
A tender kiss and a warm embrace
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
A few kind words spoken sincere (Woo)
These things will keep me loving you, dear
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Give me your shoulder to cry on
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Give me advice I can rely on
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Oh, say you love me every day of the year (Woo)
These things will keep me loving you, dear
(Na-na-na, woo, na-na-na, woo, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Oh yeah, these things will keep me loving you dear
Call me each night on the telephone, baby
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Send me a card when you're far from home, baby
(Na-na-na, na-na-na)
Oh, hold me close to you, baby, whenever you're near (Woo)
These things will keep me loving you, dear
Oh, just hold me close
(These things will keep me loving you, dear)
Oh, to feel your warm embrace, baby
(These things will keep me loving you, dear)
