The minute I met you
I said give me some time
I'll have you laughin' and fallin' in love
Till you tell the whole world that you're mine
I know it don't make sense
That a girl like you
With all of your beautiful, all of your wonder
Would ever end up with a hard-headed fool

Girl I told you
That I'll love you forever
And I'll hold you
In my arms, and I'll never let go
I'll be standin' there girl when you need me
Every mornin' you'll wake up and see
I do what I say and I say what I mean
One day we'll look back and girl I will say
That I told you, yeah

I said our shadow
Would look good on my wall
I said your clothes would look better girl
If they were scattered all up and down my hall
And it took a lot of tryin' (a whole lot of tryin')
To steal away your heart
But I told you that girl I will never give up
If I've got to I'd steal you the stars

Girl I told you
That I'll love you forever
And I'll hold you
In my arms, and I'll never let go
I'll be standin' there girl when you need me
Every mornin' you'll wake up and see
I do what I say and I say what I mean
One day we'll look back and girl I will say
That I told you, yeah

I think you know when we get to heaven
Walk down streets of gold
We'll still be singin' and dancin' and lovin'
It's gonna be your hand that I hold

Girl I told you (yeah girl I told you)
That I'll love you forever
And I'll hold you (yeah girl I'll hold you)
In my arms, and I'll never let go
I'll be standin' there girl when you need me
Every mornin' you'll wake up and see
I do what I say and I say what I mean
One day we'll look back and girl I will say
That I told you

Yeah girl I told you (yeah girl I told you)
Girl I told you, yeah girl I told you
Yeah, oh-oh-oh
