I call you right now
And tell you that I love you
But I wont and I dont.
If I did we could build a little house;
A couple of kids.
Oh wouldnt it be nice -
Oh wouldnt it be nice?
Call you right now
And tell you that I do
Before you ask me to.
If I did, wed stay out late
And celebrate.
Oh wouldnt it be nice?
Oh wouldnt it be nice -
Call you right now
And tell you that I love you
