Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'ma gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
Well, you know my love will not fade away
[Verse 2]
My love bigger than a Cadillac
I'll try to show it when you drive me back
Your love for me, it got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
A love for real not fade away
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
A love to last more than one day
A love is love and not fade away
A love is love and not fade away
Written by: Buddy Holly, Norman Petty
