It started way back in third grade.
I used to sit beside emmylou hayes
A pink dressa matching bowand her pony tail.
She kissed me on the school busbut told me not to tell.
Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey barsto the merry-go-round
And emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took itI read what she wrote.
Chorus:
Do you love medo you wanna be my friend?
And if you dowell then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to.
I think this is how love goescheck 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 changedI still chase emmylou.
Up and down the hallaround the bed in our room.
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years latershe still gets to me
Can’t believe it’s been that long ago.
When we got started with just a little note.
Repeat chorus
