Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I’ve been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light

Ah honey won’t you say that I’m the one
And if you think you’re gonna run
Well you know

I’m gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I’m gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time,

Love you all the time
I’m gonna catch you lady
Catch you lady

The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep telling me you’re feeling good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you’ll never go
Ah ah no no

Ah lately, I’m like a watch that’s overwound
And I’ve got both feet off the ground
Because you see

I’m gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I’ll make you mine
I’ll love you come what may
I’m gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
