lyrics

Girl let me appease you
Girl I beseech you
open your door
and I'll show you I'm more
more than a speech brewed
My arms out to reach you
will you open yours

Oh girl
I'd break walls
I would move mountains
I'd cross the ocean
to be with you girl

Boy If I had a dime for
every time I've been fed me words
well I'd be a rich girl
why should I see you
Or even believe you /
what are your words worth?

Are you sure
You'd break walls
Would you move mountains
Would cross the ocean to be with me boy

oh baby you can think what you want
you can think whatever it is you like
But every other woman I meet will just be my woman on the side
Babe you know you know you know you know
You know you know well you know I gotta try
Cause if I don't I don't know how I could live with that the rest of my life

Love is the only thing I know
that's healed by the thing that dealt the blow

Oh yeah the truth yeah I'll tell ya
In love letters I'll mail ya
Bail you out of jail
laugh at your jokes if they fail
The castle tower I'll scale yeah
holding on to your hair
we'll wear the finest regalia
By our personal tailor
Trek through the winter depths yeah
just for one little kiss
Get on my shoulders don't miss this
Cause baby I want you so bad
Just to smell ya
I'd swim to Australia
Boat through hades or hell yeah
Cause baby I want you so bad
