I have lived my life
My life, my, my life
In a sad world
(In a sad world)
But I'm gonna tell you
Gonna tell you

I've found the right girl
She's so gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
And she treats me like a king
(Just like a king)
Don't you know, child
I said now
I'm gonna tell my friends
My friends, my friends
I'm gonna treat her right
She's my queen
She said she loves me
And she wants to be my wife
And she says she wants to love me
For the rest, the rest of her life
Oh, this strange feeling
Feel, feel, feeling
That she put in my heart
Don't you know, child
I said now
This strange feeling
Feel, feel, feeling
That we'll never, never part
(Never part, we'll never part)
Don't you know now, child

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
Over and over
I tell you that I love you
It's over and over and over
I told you I miss you
Like the good book says
You have to reap just what you sow
I know, I know, I know...
(What you sow, what you sow)
You're my lover girl
And I'm your lover boy
Love is no game
Let's not take it for a toy
It's like the good book says
You have to reap just what you sow
(What you sow, what you sow)
Can't you understand the things
The things we have planned
For the years, years to come
It's hard to believe
You, you decieved me
Baby, baby, baby
Please come back home
Whoa, oh, oh, oh...
Over and over and over
I told you I love you
It's over and over and over
I told you I miss you
It's like, it's like the good book says
You have to reap just what you sow
(What you sow, what you sow)
I know, I know, I know...
Come and come with me
To my mountain of love
Hey, let's get away
From all the people below
Girl, yeah, mmm
So if your love
Is as strong as mine
Follow my instructions
Oh, don't you know I said
There's so much I wanna say
Without interruption
So why don't you come with me
To my mountain of love
I wanna tell you how much
I love you and that I care
Mmm, girl, yeah
Take you in my arms and hold you
Without stop for the stares
Girl, oh, mmm, I said right now
We can be alone
Don't you know I said
Just the two of us
Oh, I'm gonna tell you right now
There's so much that we can do
If my love, you would only trust
So why don't you come with me
To my mountain of love
Oh, baby, won't you
Come and go with me right now
And be my my side
I need you so
