Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darling, you send me
Darling, you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest, you do, honest, you do, honest, you do
Whoa, oh, oh, you thrill me
Darling, you thrill me
Baby, you, ya thrill me
Honest, you do, honest, you do, honest, you do
[Verse 2]
At first, thought it was infatuation
But, ooh, it's lasted so long, so long
Now I find myself wantin'
I want you to marry me, please take me home, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
You, you send me
Darling, you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest, you do, honest, you did, you know ya did, you know ya
Do, now (You send me) you got everything it takes to wed me
(You send me) and when you do the things you do you know that
(You send me) Send me
Honest, you send me
You send me, baby, you send me
You move me, you groove me
Woo, you send me
I just, I just, I just thank you to send me
Just a silly millimeter longer
I, I, I, I, I, I just can't stand any it
Thrill me, kill me
Ooh, send me, send me, baby
[Verse 4]
Pretty baby, yeah, yeah
