It started way back in third grade

I used to sit beside Emilou Hayes

A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail

She kissed me on the schoolbus but told me not to tell



Next day I chased her round the playground

Cross the monkeybars to the merry-go round

And Emilou got caught passing me a note

before the teacher took it I read what she wrote



CHORUS:

Do you love me, do you want me my friend

And if you do, well then don't be afraid

To take me by the hand if you want to

I think this is how love goes - check yes or no



Now we're grown up and she's my wife

Still like two kids with stars in our eyes

Ain't much changed, I still chase Emilou

Up and down the hall around the bed in our room



Last night I took her out in a white limousine

Twenty years together she still gets to me

Can't believe it's been that long ago

When we got started with just a little note



REPEAT CHORUS (2 x's)



Check yes or no

Check yes or no

Check yes or no (2 x's - fading out)
